Hey :) I don't know exactly what your problem is but maybe a repro would help

Perhaps using something like #squint would work better with deno, not sure

The "bebo" project doesn't seem to be necessary anymore since nbb now works with deno

The problem is only that when I try to require a npm library nbb not found it if I don’t do before npm install library. I try to use a ts file when import nbb and all the npm libraries before loadfile nbb’s method

I’ll try to create a repo to show the example

ah this is maybe because nbb used dynamic import which deno doesn't support that well? thanks, I'll look forward to the repro

I don’t know squint, it looks an interesting project 😃. I’m a noob of clojure and all the clojure’s ecosystem but I’ll try to use it in my new proyects for learning it. I like the concept of babashka and nbb because I can use it for a cli development this is the reason because I start my journey with nbb 😃

And nbb because I need a template engine and try to use nunjucks. I don’t know if exists something similar that I can use with bb

Jejeje I’m really noob in this world sorry if I don’t know something obvious

can you maybe try

async function foo() {
  import('my-library');
}

await foo(); 

import * as my_lib from 'my-library'

Ohhh thanks! I’ll try to use it and I’ll tell to you the result of the testing 😃

Hi again! I finally found the way to my code works. This is the repo: https://github.com/ulthuan/test_nbb If you execute with deno run -A run_bb.ts don’t work but if you run with the —node-modules-dir flag deno itself create the node_module directory and all works 😃. I hope this example helps to others 😃

It would be helpful if you could add to the README how to actually run it. I tried a bunch of different things like:

deno run —-node-modules-dir run_bb.ts

but that doesn't work for me ;)

Sorry I suppose that I do something wrong 😑. I updated the repo with a Readme file and config file of deno that help to run the example easily

I try again to run my example to detect the errors

I updated a little bit the Readme for help to understand better the options and the example I hope that now works when you run it

@U063PEZMD7Y I'm seeing this now:

$ deno run -A --node-modules-dir --lock run_bb.ts
error: the following required arguments were not provided:
  [SCRIPT_ARG]...

Usage: deno run --allow-all --node-modules-dir[=<node-modules-dir>] --lock [<FILE>] [SCRIPT_ARG]...

For more information, try '--help'.

What is your deno version for try to reproduce it?

It seems the output says that it expects a file after the --lock argument?

It’s strange because I try again cleaning cache before just in case

$ deno --version
deno 1.37.2 (release, aarch64-apple-darwin)
v8 11.8.172.13
typescript 5.2.2

Try to run it without extra flags

And with the deno.json

deno run -A run_bb.ts

$ deno run -A run_bb.ts
"Hello world!"

It’s works!!

😃

The configuration file use the lock file and the node_modules directory … it’s the same that the flags but I suppose that don’t work as I expected 😓

I’ll try again and fix the documentation with the use of the explicit name of the file in the lock parameter. Thanks for your time! I hope that this example help to more user of deno + nbb 😃

ok, but I guess this only works because you added import "npm:nunjucks" to the start file right?

Yes I think so

Another option for that it’s a use of deps.ts file with all the dependencies and cache it before run nbb in the same folder

you might as well just use npm install?

Yes it’s another option of course I try it before and works too

I think that a little “wrapper” for use deno with nbb it’s the load of deps.ts it’s a default convention in deno

ok nice

I’ll try a little more because I don’t know all the options that the deno runtime provides but at this moment with my knowledge those are the best options that I know

cool, perhaps we can document this in $nbb_repo/doc/deno.md or so

I’ll glad to write that .md when I finished a little bit more research and we’ll can discuss the content of the file through here or a direct message or after the first push in the PR

Hi again! I updated the example repo with the compromise solution that I think that helps more to develop with Deno. The workflow will be like that: change deno.json with new dependencies, run the task update_cache and after that you can use the nbb task to run your code. If you want to distribute your code you can use the nbb_compile task to generate a self contained binary. You’ll need the jq utility to run the update_cache task
