This was initially added in #25399 in order to make transitioning over
from package.json to deno.json more easy, but it causes some problems
that are shown in the issue and it also means that the output of `deno
install` would have different resolution than `npm install`. Overall, I
think it's too much complexity to be smarter about this and it's
probably best to not do it. If someone needs an aliased folder then they
should keep using a package.json
Closes #25538
This allows using npm deps of jsr deps without having to add them to the
root package.json.
Works by taking the package requirement and scanning the
`node_modules/.deno` directory for the best matching package, so it
relies on deno's node_modules structure.
Additionally to make the transition from package.json to deno.json
easier, Deno now:
1. Installs npm deps in a deno.json at the same time as installing npm
deps from a package.json.
2. Uses the alias in the import map for `node_modules/<alias>` for
better package.json compatiblity.
This is in preparation for extracting out node resolution code from
ext/node (which is something I'm going to do gradually over time).

Adds much better support for the unstable Deno workspaces as well as
support for npm workspaces. npm workspaces is still lacking in that we
only install packages into the root node_modules folder. We'll make it
smarter over time in order for it to figure out when to add node_modules
folders within packages.
This includes a breaking change in config file resolution where we stop
searching for config files on the first found package.json unless it's
in a workspace. For the previous behaviour, the root deno.json needs to
be updated to be a workspace by adding `"workspace":
["./path-to-pkg-json-folder-goes-here"]`. See details in
https://github.com/denoland/deno_config/pull/66

This is the initial support for npm and node specifiers in `deno
compile`. The npm packages are included in the binary and read from it via
a virtual file system. This also supports the `--node-modules-dir` flag,
dependencies specified in a package.json, and npm binary commands (ex.
`deno compile --unstable npm:cowsay`)
Closes #16632
This commits adds auto-discovery of "package.json" file when running
"deno run" and "deno task" subcommands. In case of "deno run" the
"package.json" is being looked up starting from the directory of the
script that is being run, stopping early if "deno.json(c)" file is found
(ie. FS tree won't be traversed "up" from "deno.json").
When "package.json" is discovered the "--node-modules-dir" flag is
implied, leading to creation of local "node_modules/" directory - we
did that, because most tools relying on "package.json" will expect
"node_modules/" directory to be present (eg. Vite). Additionally
"dependencies" and "devDependencies" specified in the "package.json"
are downloaded on startup.
This is a stepping stone to supporting bare specifier imports, but
the actual integration will be done in a follow up commit.
