Current way to install -g a tool with deno add?

Hi all, Not sure if I missed this somewhere in the docs, but perhaps someone else has the same problem, so I’ll ask: suppose I have a script that uses something from @std, let’s say, {resolve} from @std/path. If I want to install a script do-thing.js and it contains import {resolve} from "@std/path" (this is after running $ deno add jsr:@std/path), do I have to do anything to install that as a utility?

$ deno install -g do-thing.js

$ deno install -g do-thing.js

runs without complaint, and the script ends up in the path as expected, but when I try to use it I get the error:

error: Relative import path "@std/fs" not prefixed with / or ./ or ../ hint: If you want to use a JSR or npm package, try running deno add jsr:@std/fs or deno add npm:@std/fs at file:///Users/me/do-thing.js:3:26

But as mentioned above, I already had done deno add @std/path. Any suggestions? TIA.

Docs on deno cache

Hi all, I’m confused about the state of the deno cache subcommand. It seems that the online docs are redirecting to deno install now, but $ deno help cache still gives info in v2.0.6. Is deno cache going away, to be replaced by deno install?

Serve a directory index with oak?

Hi, I’m wondering if anyone can help me out having Oak serve a directory index (the way apache does, for instance) if a user goes to /some/directory/path? (Sorry if this is the wrong discord, I couldn’t find one related to Oak…)

Deno KV: Should I expect 'value too large' errors inserting a JSON file with kv.set?

I was trying out kv and quickly ran into something I found surprising;

let kv = await Deno.openKv('omg.db')

let hieroglyphsJSON = await Deno.readTextFile('./hieroglyphs.json')
let hieroglyphs = JSON.parse(hieroglyphsJSON)

kv.set(["hieroglyphs"], hieroglyphs)

let kv = await Deno.openKv('omg.db')

let hieroglyphsJSON = await Deno.readTextFile('./hieroglyphs.json')
let hieroglyphs = JSON.parse(hieroglyphsJSON)

kv.set(["hieroglyphs"], hieroglyphs)

hieroglyphs.json is not huge (360K), and yet I get this error:

$ deno run --unstable --allow-write --allow-read kv.js
error: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: value too large (max 65536 bytes)
kv.set(["hieroglyphs"], hieroglyphs)
   ^
    at Kv.set (ext:deno_kv/01_db.ts:87:41)
    at file:///Users/me/kv.js:8:4
    at eventLoopTick (ext:core/01_core.js:183:11)

$ deno run --unstable --allow-write --allow-read kv.js
error: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: value too large (max 65536 bytes)
kv.set(["hieroglyphs"], hieroglyphs)
   ^
    at Kv.set (ext:deno_kv/01_db.ts:87:41)
    at file:///Users/me/kv.js:8:4
    at eventLoopTick (ext:core/01_core.js:183:11)

I feel like I’m missing something obvious; am I trying to do something kv wasn’t designed for? TIA

Checking for circular module dependencies?

Hi, I’m wondering if there is some way to detect whether there are circular dependencies in a set of modules. Ideally, it might look something like this:

let detectCircularDependencies = fileNames => { … } 

// then i'd call

detectCircularDependencies('./a.js', './b.js', './c.js')
Circular dependency found: a.js > b.js > c.js > a.js

let detectCircularDependencies = fileNames => { … } 

// then i'd call

detectCircularDependencies('./a.js', './b.js', './c.js')
Circular dependency found: a.js > b.js > c.js > a.js

Or something like that.

Is inspecting import.meta.url a reliable way to distinguish browser and deno contexts?

I have been trying to figure out a good pattern to import JSON that will work whether called in deno or the browser. This is what I was thinking:

let data

if(import.meta.url.startsWith('file')){ // we’re in deno
  let jsonstring = await Deno.readTextFile('delete.json')
  data = JSON.parse(jsonstring)  
} else if(import.meta.url.startsWith('http')){ // we’re in the browser
  let response = await fetch('delete.json')
  data = await response.json()
}

export {data}

let data

if(import.meta.url.startsWith('file')){ // we’re in deno
  let jsonstring = await Deno.readTextFile('delete.json')
  data = JSON.parse(jsonstring)  
} else if(import.meta.url.startsWith('http')){ // we’re in the browser
  let response = await fetch('delete.json')
  data = await response.json()
}

export {data}

I would welcome advice as to whether this is a good approach to this problem. thanks 🙏
