interface ImportMeta
Deno provides extra properties on import.meta
. These are included here
to ensure that these are still available when using the Deno namespace in
conjunction with other type libs, like dom
.
Properties
🔗
url: string
A string representation of the fully qualified module URL. When the
module is loaded locally, the value will be a file URL (e.g.
file:///path/module.ts
).
You can also parse the string as a URL to determine more information about how the current module was loaded. For example to determine if a module was local or not:
const url = new URL(import.meta.url);
if (url.protocol === "file:") {
console.log("this module was loaded locally");
}
🔗
main: boolean
A flag that indicates if the current module is the main module that was called when starting the program under Deno.
if (import.meta.main) {
// this was loaded as the main module, maybe do some bootstrapping
}
