Using JSR package in Vite running in Deno

[etienne-dldc]

Hi,

I'm really excited about JSR and I started migrating the few packages I maintain (mostly for myself given their popularity 😅) from Node + NPM to Deno + JSR:

It worked quite well so far but I ran into a issue: In some of my project I had a folder with a Vite project to showcase an example of the package.

I managed to get Vite running in Deno and using --node-modules-dir and I can import npm packages fine but not JSR packages.

I see 2 potential solution to this:

1. Vite plugin

Option 1 would be to have a Vite plugin for Deno that would implement the same module resolution.
There is already some existing but I did not found any that supports jsr.

On that note, are there any plan to expose the module resolver from Deno to make it easier to create such tool ?

The downside of this solution is that it would be a Vite only solution and won't work for other bundlers.

2. Expose JSR packages in node_modules

Another option would be to make Deno also expose JSR packages in node_modules when running --node-modules-dir, this way the classic Node module resolution would also work.

Side note: since I could not make it work with Vite I used esbuild and @luca/esbuild-deno-loader in the meantime, you can see it in this repo: dldc-packages/canvas.
But I would much prefer to be able to use Vite as it's a more common setup and requires less tinkering than Esbuild.
