node-https-loader

HTTPS Custom Loader for Node.js

Experimental

It works with Node.js 10.5.0 and is subject for changes at any time

How to get started

1. You need to specify --experimental-modules flag
2. You need to specify the loader in order to be able to load modules by https (--loader <LOADER_PATH>)

Example

node --experimental-modules --loader ./node-https-loader.mjs test.mjs

How it works

1. It loads desired script from the internet and saves it with hashed name
2. When loads the next time it won't go to the internet, instead it will load the script from the disk

Caveats

1. Saves loaded scripts to the tmp/ by default (You should probably override it with NODE_HTTPS_MODULES env)
2. Right now it works like browser <script> tag meaning it loads bundles only (for now at least)
