How to have an 'internal only' package in a workspace

[ieedan]

For instance I have a workspace that has 5 packages.

deno.json:

{
	"tasks": {},
	"fmt": {
		"useTabs": true,
		"semiColons": true,
		"indentWidth": 4
	},
	"importMap": "import_map.json",
	"workspace": ["packages/parsing", "packages/cli", "packages/analyzers", "packages/utils", "packages/highlight"]
}

I want everything to be published with the exception of packages/utils which is just shared internal utilities for the rest of the packages.

The problem is that when I go to publish even though everything works locally I get an error because it cannot resolve @my-scope/utils from jsr.

I have tried added it in the workspace import map like this:

{
    "imports": {
        "@utils": "./packages/utils/src/index.ts"
    }
}

and then referencing it like this:

import { x } from "@utils"; 

but then when I go to publish I get this error:

failed to build module graph: Module not found "file:///utils/src/index.ts"

It also does the same thing when I try and use a relative import such as:

import { x } from "../../utils/src/script.ts";

@ieedan if the package description starts with INTERNAL, it will not be displayed in the package search. it currently still appears in the scope packages list, but i will fix that in the coming days.

This would still require me to publish the code correct? And then by description you mean the description you enter on the JSR site or @scope/INTERNAL_package?

[crowlKats]

yes, you would still need to publish it. and i mean the description you enter on the JSR site

Ah okay that makes sense thanks!
