Where can I see deno downloaded packages?
You can use deno info
to get the cache directory of remote modules.
> deno info
DENO_DIR location: "C:\\Users\\ford\\AppData\\Local\\deno"
Remote modules cache: "C:\\Users\\ford\\AppData\\Local\\deno\\deps"
TypeScript compiler cache: "C:\\Users\\ford\\AppData\\Local\\deno\\gen"
To get info about a single (remote) module:
deno info --unstable https://deno.land/std/fs/mod.ts # --unstable needed as of 1.0.3
Sample output:
local: C:\Users\ford\AppData\Local\deno\deps\https\deno.land\434fe4a7...8f300799a073e0
type: TypeScript
compiled: C:\Users\ford\AppData\Local\deno\gen\https\deno.land\std\fs\mod.ts.js
map: C:\Users\ford\AppData\Local\deno\gen\https\deno.land\std\fs\mod.ts.js.map
deps:
https://deno.land/std/fs/mod.ts
├─┬ https://deno.land/std/fs/empty_dir.ts

: Dependency tree of source file
The imports are cached in $DENO_DIR
From the docs:
Deno caches remote imports in a special directory specified by the
$DENO_DIR
environmental variable. It defaults to the system's cache directory if$DENO_DIR
is not specified. The next time you run the program, no downloads will be made. If the program hasn't changed, it won't be recompiled either. The default directory is:
- On Linux/Redox:
$XDG_CACHE_HOME/deno
or$HOME/.cache/deno
- On Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%/deno
(%LOCALAPPDATA% = FOLDERID_LocalAppData
)- On macOS:
$HOME/Library/Caches/deno
If something fails, it falls back to$HOME/.deno
Relying on external servers is convenient for development but brittle in production. Production software should always bundle its dependencies. In Deno this is done by checking the $DENO_DIR into your source control system, and specifying that path as the $DENO_DIR environmental variable at runtime.
what is the deno command to install all the dependencies mentioned in dep.ts file
To install just import dep.ts
in one of your files and run:
deno run index.js
