Key point

Replit has launched a feature that lets you import any npm package in web-based language environments.

Details

Following last year's support for importing Python packages from PyPi, Replit is expanding its package import feature to support npm packages for web-based language environments.

Supported environments include JavaScript REPL, HTML/CSS/JS, ES2016, and more, allowing use of any npm package that can run in a browser.

Here's how it works:

  • Parses require statements in the code
  • Fetches the npm bundle via wzrd.in
  • Executes the fetched bundle in the same context as the code

ES6 imports are not currently supported, but support is planned soon.
