include transpiled ES5 code on npm? about web-stream-tools HOT 3 OPEN

Yeah, we could do that indeed. import() is in fact a web standard, see dynamic imports. In the OpenPGP.js lightweight build, we preserve these imports as-is. In the full build, we include these dependencies indeed. Using webpack, it's possible to compile these dynamic imports to the script tag "hack", I believe.

Hey 👋 Yeah, I agree this is something we should do.

The main difficulty is around the way we load the streams polyfill "on demand" (i.e. only when it's not natively supported by the browser):

Thanks for the consideration.

It may be cleaner to offer several builds, like lean and full rather than a script tag hack. Regardless, I suppose your own OpenPGP.js builds will continue using the source / remain unaffected.

It's the first time I see this kind of import. That's not understandable by the browser anyway, is it? Rather, meant for the build tool? But if it's for the build tool, then that's long before it sees any browser, so that wouldn't be on-demand. I'm thoroughly confused :-)
