📦 CLI to run a Deno package without installing it (like npx for Deno)
dpx is like npx for Deno, easily run a Deno CLI package.
Install DPX globally using:
deno install --allow-run --allow-net -n dpx https://deno.land/x/dpx/cli.ts
Then, the package is available to run:
dpx <packageName> <flags> <arguments>
Under the hood, the CLI finds the file to run (cli.ts or mod.ts) from the Deno registry and runs it.
If you want to run the package online (which tells you whether you are online), you can run:
dpx online --allow-net # You are online
Similarly, if you want to check whether a website is up, you can use the up package:
dpx up --allow-net https://google.com # https://google.com is up
Required permissions:
--allow-net--allow-runYou can use this package by importing it:
import { dpx } from "https://deno.land/x/dpx/mod.ts";
const result = dpx("packageName", ["--flags"], ["args"]);
Alternatively, you can use it directly from the CLI by using deno run:
deno run --allow-read --allow-run https://deno.land/x/dpx/cli.ts <flags> <packageName> <arguments>
Run tests:
deno test --allow-read
