Override npm import dep with import maps?
Is it possible for me change a depedency of an npm package by using import maps?
Say I want to use a different websocket than the base npm package is using.

you mean like npm's package.json "overrides" ya?
https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v9/configuring-npm/package-json#overrides
afaik there isn't any equivalent rn. Is the dep public? The couple times I had small updates I needed in deps, I just forked and pointed to a raw github url...
Oh man though this did just remind me of:
https://github.com/ds300/patch-package
this thing saved my butt a few times when i was engulfed in node dep hell...
yeah
I cannot fork it and point it to github url.
Since I cannot use the
npm: mechanism with github. @bpev
Or at least I did not find a way to use it with github repos.Unknown User•2y ago

Tried all of kinds of things with it.
Does not seem to work.
Maybe it does not work with npm deps.

you can do that?
Does not seem like vendor works with npm specifiers.
can you run dep from cdn url (skypack et all)? then maybe could use scopes: https://deno.land/manual@v1.30.0/basics/import_maps#overriding-imports
actually come to think of it, I never actually tried to use with
npm:, but seems sketchy
