How to use Deno as a Rust crate but with the complete Node & Deno standard library, module resolution, commonjs support, etc?

[alshdavid]

I am writing a bundler in Rust and am looking for a runtime to embed in my binary to execute JavaScript based plugins with.

Deno is written in Rust and offers the deno_core crate which offers a basic execution context for JavaScript applications.

It's pretty great and easy to use however, looking through the examples, it appears very bare bones - offering only an execution context, where I must separately implement the Node standard library, module resolution, commonjs support and so on.

I could copy those features from the Deno repo and reimplement the usage as described in the Deno executable - but I was wondering if there was already a way to do this without manually rewiring a complete form of Deno in my own project.

Or have I misunderstood deno_core and it actually has batteries included? 😓

deno is only available as a binary target (ie. you can't use it as a library). You can use some parts of it via deno_runtime crate, but not all the things that you want will be available there.
