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.
