Deno development in Emacs

Prerequisites

• Make sure you have tide installed and setup

Setup to enable Deno support for your own project

• npm init -y to setup a package.json (we need this as we install dependencies using npm)
• npm install --save-dev typescript-deno-plugin typescript as described in typescript-deno-plugin repo
• finally, add the following to your tsconfig.json to enable the typescript-deno-plugin

  {
    "compilerOptions": {
      "plugins": [{
          "name": "typescript-deno-plugin",
          "enable": true, // default is `true`
          "importmap": "import_map.json"
      }]
    }
  }

With this in place, tide will function just as expected with a codebase targeted to Deno as it does with a normal TypeScript project.
