Improved deno provider support #272

Closed Bubblyworld closed 1 year ago

Bubblyworld commented 1 year ago

Currently the deno provider throws when it resolves an npm: package specifier. This makes some sense, since denoland doesn't host npm packages, but it's a bit annoying because whenever an installed package has an npm package as a transitive dependency it's basically unusable with jspm (see https://deno.land/manual@v1.31.2/node/npm_specifiers).

Not sure what to do here - perhaps we should direct the user to the providers option docs and advise them to configure a non-deno provider to resolve npm:-registry stuff? At the moment the error is very obscure unless you understand generator internals.

Agreed we should definitely not throw on this - we can treat it the same as we do for node: URLs (in Node.js of course).
