Import Maps Generator

Generate import maps to achieve true buildless development. Uses @jspm/generator under the hood. Built on Bun and uses HTMLRewriter for the best performance. Works fine with Node.js also

Usage

It needs js/html input file and provides html/json output

bun generateImportMaps.js --input=./tests/assets/test-element.js --output=./tests/assets/testResult.html

Or

node generateImportMaps.js --input=./tests/assets/test-element.js --output=./tests/assets/testResult.html

Or

import {generateImportMaps} from 'import-maps-generator'

await generateImportMaps({input:'./tests/assets/test-element.js', output:'./tests/assets/testResult.html'})

Output:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head><script type="importmap">
      {
  "imports": {
    "lit": "../../node_modules/lit/index.js"
  },
  "scopes": {
    "../../node_modules/": {
      "@lit/reactive-element": "../../node_modules/@lit/reactive-element/reactive-element.js",
      "lit-element/lit-element.js": "../../node_modules/lit-element/lit-element.js",
      "lit-html": "../../node_modules/lit-html/lit-html.js",
      "lit-html/is-server.js": "../../node_modules/lit-html/is-server.js"
    }
  }
}
    </script>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>test result</title>
  <script type="module" src="test-element.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<test-element></test-element>
</body>
</html>

API:

/**
 * Generates import maps based on the provided input file and writes the result to the output file.
 *
 * @param {Object} options - The options for generating import maps.
 * @param {string} options.input - The path to the JS input file. If not provided, the value from the `process.env.input` environment variable is used.
 * @param {string} options.output - The path to the HTML output file. If not provided, the value from the `process.env.output` environment variable is used.
 * @param {boolean} options.rewriteExistingMap - Indicates whether to rewrite the Import Maps of the HTML output file with the generated import maps. If not provided, the value from the `process.env.rewriteExistingMap` environment variable is used. Defaults to `true`.
 * @param {boolean} options.writeToDisk - Indicates whether to write the Output to disk. If not provided, the value from the `process.env.rewriteExistingMap` environment variable is used. Defaults to `true`.
 * @return {Promise<string>} - A promise that resolves to the generated import map as a string if `output` is not provided.

TODO:

  • pass mapUrl to @jspm generator
  • pass custom arguments to @jspm generator
  • Allow custom routes like this:
app.use(staticPlugin({assets: './frontend', prefix:'/'}));
app.use(staticPlugin({assets: './node_modules', prefix:'/node_modules'}));

Why it exists?

I had problems with lit on bun+elysia. The classic

TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "lit". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".

I tried to find something like koa-node-resolve but for Elysia.js and not found such a thing. So I decided to generate import maps.

I tried JSPM CLI(and Bun version not worked well, so I used it from node), and found out that since I used custom routing for my project I cannot use CLI. So I used @jspm/generator which cannot write to html file as JSPM CLI does.

This project solves problems I had:

  • It allowed me to use custom routing and still generate correct Import Maps
  • It built on Bun and I had no problems launching it from CLI
  • It works faster @jspm/generator htmlInject because uses bun's HTMLRewriter
