Observable

Debugging

Hi I am trying to debugging import @tensorflow-models/face-landmarks-detection. The thumb up option this gives me doesn't actually work.

Same for me when I'm testing this with my own library: `@stefandesu/vite-test-library` I just can't get it to work, and I'm not sure how I should change the build process to make it work with Observable.

both packages seem to load correctly with the new Skypack method

found a new module viem can't work with all available methods here, include Skypack not working,

but found the esm.sh can work:

viem = import("https://esm.sh/viem@2.9.16")

@Fil
you may update it into this page?

I also seem to have found a module that won't work: "chs-js-lib"

This tool claims that "require('chs-js-lib@0.3.5/dist/chs.min.mjs')" will work, but when I try it on a notebook I get the "RequireError: invalid module" error.

I'm getting CORS error on unpkg for the meta json, tried with package @mapbox/vector-tile. Strangely, adding the version number (@mapbox/vector-tile@2.0.3) works but the format of the JSON seems to have changed so scavengingForLinks fails...

Julien Colot

@mr-sharp unpkg.com reports an error for that package. This notebook can only make an educated guess about what might work.

@jcolot Thanks for raising! Can you say more about the format changes? I included the version to avoid the redirect, but beyond that everything seems to be working again.

Some modules need to add *.default* to returned result to work properly.
Was struggling few hours trying to comprehend why my module refuses to work.

Hopefully this helps someone:
I got some bad packages to work nicely by trying different ES module CDNs!
e.g. `import("https://jspm.dev/danfojs")`

List of CDNs that i've found (there may be more out there):

- https://cdn.skypack.dev/
- https://jspm.dev/
- https://esm.sh/
- https://esm.run/

thank you for this comment! jspm.dev worked for me :D

For the js-combinatorics package, I had success with the unpkg.com import() but I had to drop "?module" at the end.

import('https://unpkg.com/js-combinatorics@2.1.1/combinatorics.js')

Ah, yes thank you for https://observablehq.com/@thatneat/powerball-numbers !

For hyparquet: no solution here, but we can import with 

`hyparquet = import("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hyparquet/+esm")`

hyparquet works now (two methods are given a 👍).
