Import/Export ​

Netzo supports importing modules directly from URLs. This is done by using the import keyword and specifying the URL of the imported file.

• import to bring stuff from other modules
• export to expose stuff for importing in other modules

Importing Code ​

Deno modules ​

deno.land is the official Deno module registry. You can import standard library modules directly from https://deno.land/std and third-party modules from https://deno.land/x.

CLI Netzo

import { serve } from 'https://deno.land/std/http/server.ts'
import { netzo } from 'https://deno.land/x/netzo/apis/netzo/mod.ts'

import { serve } from 'https://deno.land/std/http/server.ts'
import { netzo } from 'https://deno.land/x/netzo/apis/netzo/mod.ts'

Node.js modules ​

Deno supports importing bulit-in Node.js modules via the node: specifier syntax.

CLI Netzo

import process from 'node:process'
import { createServer } from 'node:http'

import process from 'node:process'
import { createServer } from 'node:http'

NPM packages ​

Deno supports importing NPM packages via the npm: specifier syntax (since version 1.28).

CLI

import chalk from 'npm:chalk' // ❌ works only locally (Deno CLI)

import chalk from 'npm:chalk' // ❌ works only locally (Deno CLI)

You can also use a CDN service like esm.sh, jspm.io and skypack.dev to import npm packages which is already supported in Netzo.

CLI Netzo

import chalk from 'https://esm.sh/chalk' // ✅ works also in Netzo

import chalk from 'https://esm.sh/chalk' // ✅ works also in Netzo

Importing JSON ​

Deno supports importing JSON files as a native feature. This is done by using the assert keyword and specifying the type of the imported file.

import data from './data.json' assert { type: 'json' }

import data from './data.json' assert { type: 'json' }
