Binary files in jsr package
Hey I am currently trying to understand the „new“ (for me) package format (
jsr.json) for Deno packages and I was wandering how binary files are handled in such a package when using the package.
For example if I have a DLL file for my ffi module can I just include it in the include statement inside the jsr.io file so that it gets cached when I use the package? Or do I need relay on a library like plug that downloads non ts/js files that I need?2 Replies
Idk about jsr, but if you want it to work with bundlers (and JSR) I made this tools a couple years ago for binary files. It let's you import anything as a Uint8Array.
I used it to make deno-tree-sitter and also use it in a couple other of my deno modules

Okay thanks I will check that out
So this module just simply converts the binary file into a js file with a Uint8Array? Am I right?
