Node API

[fayakun-it-consulting]

Is it possible to run complex node apps?

@fayakun-it-consulting Node API is planned but still in the early stage.
For now, it's not ideal for running complex or heavy Node apps since the lib doesn't include optimizations like JIT yet.

Is it however easy to run a normal Typescript project like goja does? Is it possible to have many files projects that are all parsed and run from its index.ts file?

Where can I follow along the discussions concerning this feature?

Could you give us a thread link concerning node api and some advanced functionalities that are part of Deno such as single file main.js app loading and this:

I created a new thread :

Could you implement sort of l support advanced features like npm imports or url imports similar to what Deno provides?

Hi @fayakun-it-consulting

TypeScript isn’t supported yet. You can still use it by transpiling your TS files to JS first, then running the output with QJS.

Could you implement sort of l support advanced features like npm imports or url imports similar to what Deno provides?

In theory, it’s possible, but it would require a lot of work. Deno is a full-featured Node alternative with many built-in APIs, while QJS is much lighter, it’s missing many Node APIs beyond just module or URL imports.

If you need to transpile just use https://esbuild.github.io/api/#transform
