Unpackage

Simple Deno library to download files from NPM, GitHub, GitLab and Codeberg (easily extensible to other registries).

Example

import unpackage from "unpackage/mod.ts";

for await (const file of unpackage("npm:ventojs")) {
  const path = join(root, file.name);

  // Ensure the folder exists
  try {
    await Deno.mkdir(dirname(path), { recursive: true });
  } catch {}

  // Write the file content
  Deno.writeFile(path, await file.bytes());
}

Version ranges and patterns

You can use version ranges and patterns to download only some specific files:

unpackage("npm:ventojs@1"); // The most recent 1.x version
unpackage("npm:ventojs@^1.1"); // The most recent 1.1 version
unpackage("npm:ventojs/esm/src/**"); // Return only the files inside the /esm/src folder (the '/esm/src' prefix is removed from the filepaths)
unpackage("npm:ventojs@^1.1/esm/src/**"); // Combine version + pattern

Supported prefixes:

• npm: To download files from NPM (like npm:foo@1.0.0)
• gh: To download files from GitHub (like gh:org/repo@1.0.0)
• gl: To download files from GitLab (like gl:org/repo@1.0.0)
• cb: To download files from Codeberg (like cb:org/repo@1.0.0)
