Run in node without webpack ?

[cameronbraid]

Is there any way to run this in node without using webpack ?

If you use Node>=13.0.0, webpack is reqired.
On 10<=Node<13, it is possible to run w/o webpack. (but not recommended)

• You should write the build script using tsc, and change some import statements.
• Output file's extension should be *.mjs.
• Node CLI options is needed.

index.ts

import { SvgCanvas,
         SvgCanvas2DGradient } from 'red-agate-svg-canvas/modules';

// NOTE: hack bad .d.ts definition for ESM.
import * as ChartJs_ from 'chart.js';
const ChartJs: typeof ChartJs_ = (ChartJs_ as any).default || ChartJs_;

I found an easy way - install esm and ts-node

https://github.com/cameronbraid/chart.js-node-ssr-example/commit/f987196d0eabe00ee13c10811f8b45394d768071

to see it working, checkout my branch :

npm install
npm run run

Hi, @cameronbraid .
Thanks for your useful information.
I think it's a very good way to get started this example w/o webpack.
