import NodeLocalFile from "src/io/nodeLocalFile.mjs"
const path = "test/data/test_chr22.hic"
const nodeLocalFile = new NodeLocalFile({path})
const straw = new Straw({file: nodeLocalFile})

remote file

For remote file access define a global fetch function

const straw = new Straw({url: url})

See examples/script-es6.js and examples/script-cjs.js for complete examples.
