It's funny how no one seems to be using typescript https://www.reddit.com/r/Nix/comments/x7tdxd/building_typescript_node_apps_with_nix/ https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/16xlbk2/looking_for_help_to_use_nixos_in_a_typescript/

think I kinda managed to package my typescript program with buildNpmPackage but on run I get

$ jkops --help
Error: Cannot find module '/nix/store/z4dmxdr8v12cy6fzk723f0p9gyr7rxi4-jkops-1.0.0/lib/node_modules/jkops/node_modules/@aws-sdk/util-utf8-browser/dist-cjs/index.js'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry

usually I can manage this kind of issues with a bit of NODE_PATH shenaningan but the files dont seem to even exist in fd -uL dist-cjs/index.js /nix/store/z4dmxdr8v12cy6fzk723f0p9gyr7rxi4-jkops-1.0.0/. I can share the package{-lock}.json if it helps.

I had this idea today for a radically simple ingestion method for package-lock.json.
The idea is:

• Map over package-lock.json packages, invoke correct fetcher
• Update package.json & package-lock.lock to point to store paths
• npm install

I have a PoC here: https://github.com/adisbladis/fetch-package-lock/blob/master/flake.nix#L78-L82

I'm wondering if there is anything obvious I've missed? It seems to easy/simple.

Hmm, you'd need to alter the source, right? Or do you plan to replace the package lock with a linked version?

adisbladis: we have a weird cursed JS codebase at work I could try this on
