Emit JavaScript modules for browsers like `esm.sh` about jsr

[ije]

hi, you can use esm.sh for now, util this feature is added.

FYI esm.sh already added support for JSR.

The JSR website says it works with any runtime. Which is a pretty bold claim when it doesn't work in browsers :P

It's actually a bit more complicated than that. It works on projects when your back end process/bundle your front end.

But for me personally, the good ol' browser link is the way for quick and dirty prototyping. For some people, it's even their norm.

For me it's my norm, it's why I exclusively write .js files 😅

Fwiw, jsr's usage policy says:

It is not acceptable to use JSR as a CDN for serving assets directly to web applications in a browser, except for development purposes. JSR is not a general purpose file hosting service.

So I suppose that even if this does get added, it will still be pretty useless.

I think maybe instead we should start bugging jsDelivr. They already support npm, so hopefully they could make use of the npm compatibility layer without too much effort. Their site says:

Custom CDN Hosting

We can work together and set up a custom configuration for your project. This way, you can have full control over your files and the ability to utilize the full power of jsDelivr.

Ah cool! I wasn't aware.

Yes to all of you that re-mention it, esm.sh already added support of JSR, that's the title and the whole point for this issue:

Make it available for JSR too please.

Why should we use something else to get JSR modules?

I'm not here to annoy anyone subscribed to this issue, but...
Is this feature being even considered by the devs? I haven't found anything about them planning on adding this.
