NPM Modules

You can import ES5/ES6 modules installed from e.g. npm. But you need to bundle them first.

We recommend that you create a npm.bundle.ts file where you locate all of your dependencies.

Example

Install dependency:

terminal

npm i dayjs

Export the dependency from your npm.bundle.ts file.

npm.bundle.ts

export { default as dayjs } from "dayjs";

Import the dependency in another class

my-class.ts

import { dayjs } from "./npm-modules.bundle";

export default class MyClass extends Node {
  _ready(): void {
    console.log(dayjs().toString());
  }
}

Note: If you use godot-ts build/watch the npm.bundle.ts file will be bundled with every dependency from node_modules, while regular *.ts files will preserve their imports. This is required for GodotJS to work.
