This adds support for using a local copy of an npm package.
```js
// deno.json
{
"patch": [
"../path/to/local_npm_package"
],
// required until Deno 2.3, but it will still be considered unstable
"unstable": ["npm-patch"]
}
```
1. Requires using a node_modules folder.
2. When using `"nodeModulesDir": "auto"`, it recreates the folder in the
node_modules directory on each run which will slightly increase startup
time.
3. When using the default with a package.json (`"nodeModulesDir":
"manual"`), updating the package requires running `deno install`. This
is to get the package into the node_modules directory of the current
workspace. This is necessary instead of linking because packages can
have multiple "copy packages" due to peer dep resolution.
Caveat: Specifying a local copy of an npm package or making changes to
its dependencies will purge npm packages from the lockfile. This might
cause npm resolution to resolve differently and it may end up not using
the local copy of the npm package. It's very difficult to only
invalidate resolution midway through the graph and then only rebuild
that part of the resolution, so this is just a first pass that can be
improved in the future. In practice, this probably won't be an issue for
most people.
Another limitation is this also requires the npm package name to exist
in the registry at the moment.
This adds support for installing `file:` dependencies in a local
package.json.
In order to use these, you must not set `--node-modules-dir=...` when
using a package.json and it should use the default of
`--node-modules-dir=manual`.

This commit adds support for understanding "workpace:^"
and "workspace:~" version constraints in npm/pnpm workspaces.
This is done by upgrading various crates to their latest versions.

This was initially added in #25399 in order to make transitioning over
from package.json to deno.json more easy, but it causes some problems
that are shown in the issue and it also means that the output of `deno
install` would have different resolution than `npm install`. Overall, I
think it's too much complexity to be smarter about this and it's
probably best to not do it. If someone needs an aliased folder then they
should keep using a package.json
Closes#25538
This allows using npm deps of jsr deps without having to add them to the
root package.json.
Works by taking the package requirement and scanning the
`node_modules/.deno` directory for the best matching package, so it
relies on deno's node_modules structure.
Additionally to make the transition from package.json to deno.json
easier, Deno now:
1. Installs npm deps in a deno.json at the same time as installing npm
deps from a package.json.
2. Uses the alias in the import map for `node_modules/<alias>` for
better package.json compatiblity.
This is in preparation for extracting out node resolution code from
ext/node (which is something I'm going to do gradually over time).
Uses https://github.com/denoland/deno_package_json
Adds much better support for the unstable Deno workspaces as well as
support for npm workspaces. npm workspaces is still lacking in that we
only install packages into the root node_modules folder. We'll make it
smarter over time in order for it to figure out when to add node_modules
folders within packages.
This includes a breaking change in config file resolution where we stop
searching for config files on the first found package.json unless it's
in a workspace. For the previous behaviour, the root deno.json needs to
be updated to be a workspace by adding `"workspace":
["./path-to-pkg-json-folder-goes-here"]`. See details in
https://github.com/denoland/deno_config/pull/66Closes#24340Closes#24159Closes#24161Closes#22020Closes#18546Closes#16106Closes#24160
This is the initial support for npm and node specifiers in `deno
compile`. The npm packages are included in the binary and read from it via
a virtual file system. This also supports the `--node-modules-dir` flag,
dependencies specified in a package.json, and npm binary commands (ex.
`deno compile --unstable npm:cowsay`)
Closes#16632
This commits adds auto-discovery of "package.json" file when running
"deno run" and "deno task" subcommands. In case of "deno run" the
"package.json" is being looked up starting from the directory of the
script that is being run, stopping early if "deno.json(c)" file is found
(ie. FS tree won't be traversed "up" from "deno.json").
When "package.json" is discovered the "--node-modules-dir" flag is
implied, leading to creation of local "node_modules/" directory - we
did that, because most tools relying on "package.json" will expect
"node_modules/" directory to be present (eg. Vite). Additionally
"dependencies" and "devDependencies" specified in the "package.json"
are downloaded on startup.
This is a stepping stone to supporting bare specifier imports, but
the actual integration will be done in a follow up commit.
