A webpack and Rollup plugin that lets you import JavaScript modules directly from URLs (like unpkg) instead of installing them into node_modules. Remote code is fetched and cached locally at build time, similar to Deno's URL imports.

Use cases

• import npm packages directly from unpkg URLs without installing them
• avoid node_modules bloat in a webpack project
• use Deno-style URL imports in a Rollup build
• prototype quickly without running npm install
• cache remote dependencies locally and refresh them with a reload flag

When to choose

• you use webpack or Rollup and want URL-based module imports
• you want to skip installing dependencies for quick prototypes
• you prefer Deno-like imports in a Node bundler workflow

When to avoid

• you need frequently updated or security-audited dependencies
• your build must work offline without a warm cache
• you use bundlers other than webpack or Rollup
