fly-import

Install and import packages on-the-fly

Usage

Supports many different specifications.

import { flyImport } from 'fly-import';

const { flyImport: flyImport2 } = await flyImport('[email protected]');

const { flyInstall } = await 'fly-import2@npm:[email protected]';

console.log(await flyInstall('camelcase-git@github:sindresorhus/camelcase#v7.0.1'));

Import a subpath of a package, resolved through its exports when it declares them:

import { flyImport } from 'fly-import';

const { customAlphabet } = await flyImport('nanoid@5', { subpath: 'non-secure' });

Abort an install with a signal, which cancels its registry requests:

import { flyImport } from 'fly-import';

const { default: camelcase } = await flyImport('camelcase@8', { signal: AbortSignal.timeout(60_000) });

Bins of installed packages are not linked, pass arboristConfig: { binLinks: true } to link them at <repositoryPath>/../bin (<repositoryPath> on Windows).
