CDNs to adopt JSR packages

[trymeouteh]

Many CDNs get packages from NPM and make them available for web browsers to pull from.

Would be great if JSR was able to be adopted by CDNs.

esm.sh is one of the CDNs that supports JSR packages, see https://github.com/esm-dev/esm.sh?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-registries

Is it possible to use esm.sh to get scripts and stylesheets using the <script> and <link> tags instead of using import?

[frytg]

yes, should work using import maps: https://esm.sh/#docs -> How to Use

<script type="importmap">
  {
    "imports": {
      "react": "https://esm.sh/[email protected]"
    }
  }
</script>
<script type="module">
  import React from "react" // alias to https://esm.sh/[email protected]
</script>

Never heard of import maps before. Do import maps increase website loading speed compared to loading a javascript file since it has to import multiple module files instead of one single bundled script?

Is there a way to load a javascript file or CSS stylesheet file using ESM?

<script src="https://esm.sh/path/to/jquery.min.js"></script>
