Problem:

Deno can resolve a local workspace, from an outside-workspace project.

I expected @deno/vite-plugin to be able to do that. It can't.

See EXAMPLE/readme.md for

• minimal reproduction
• how deno works as intended
• how vite plugin fails
• and how it is solved

See src/index.ts, prefixPlugin.ts and resolvePlugin.ts files for the change.

This readme and everything inside EXAMPLE is written by me, human.

However the actual plugin code in 3 ts files were written by AI. Beware!

Thank you for checking this out.

Deno vite plugin

Plugin to enable Deno resolution inside vite. It supports:

• Alias mappings in deno.json
• npm: specifier
• jsr: specifier
• http: and https: specifiers

Limitations

Deno specific resolution cannot be used in vite.config.ts because it's not possible to intercept the bundling process of the config file in vite.

Usage

Install this package:

# npm
npm install @deno/vite-plugin
# pnpm
pnpm install @deno/vite-plugin
# deno
deno install npm:@deno/vite-plugin

Add the plugin to your vite configuration file vite.config.ts:

  import { defineConfig } from "vite";
+ import deno from "@deno/vite-plugin";

  export default defineConfig({
+   plugins: [deno()],
  });
