Project structure

This project uses a structure intended to make it easy to author and use from different JS runtimes. It does not use bare specifiers for imports (e.g. import $ from "jquery";).

• src - project code, vanilla typescript files.
• scripts - contains a script for building the NPM package
• npm - an NPM package folder for distributing via NPM
• deno - contains a single mod.ts which reexports the project's default export

Publishing

To build the NPM version of the project, run:

deno run --allow-all scripts/build_npm.ts

This will use esbuild to produce the different distributions for the NPM package.

After that, change directory to npm and run npm publish. Before publishing, the project's type declarations will be created.
