unpkg is a fast, global content delivery network for everything on npm. Use it to quickly and easily load files using a simple URL like:
https://unpkg.com/package@version/file
A few examples:
You may also use a tag or version range instead of a fixed version number, or omit the version/tag entirely to use the latest
tag.
If you omit the file path, unpkg will try to serve the browser
bundle if present, the main
module otherwise.
Append a /
at the end of a URL to view a listing of all the files in a package.
Name | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|
main | unpkg , browser , main | The name of the field in package.json to use as the main entry point when there is no file path in the URL. |
json | undefined | Return a recursive list of metadata about all the files in a directory as JSON (e.g. /any/path/?json ). Note: this only works for directories. |
For npm package authors, unpkg relieves the burden of publishing your code to a CDN in addition to the npm registry. All you need to do is include your UMD build in your npm package (not your repo, that's different!).
You can do this easily using the following setup:
umd
(or dist
) directory to your .gitignore
fileumd
directory to your files array in package.json
umd
directory when you publishThat's it! Now when you npm publish
you'll have a version available on unpkg as well.
