Description
Describe the bug
I want to be able to import the client version without having to use a bundler / using the serveClient option on the server. Can you just provide an ES2020 module that I can just directly import?
This is when I use the npm package instead of a http import (so I get typescript support).
Expected behavior
// client.ts (bundled for browser)
import { io } from 'socket.io-client/browser';
// ...
What I am currently doing
copying the esm output to a local directory
// client.ts (bundled for browser)
// @ts-types="npm:socket.io-client"
import { io } from './socket.io.esm.min.js';
deno bundle client.ts -o client.js
Platform:
- Runtime: Deno 2.4.5
- OS: Windows 10

Research direction
Start with the client.ts import example and the existing socket.io.esm.min.js output, then inspect how the npm package exposes browser entry points. Done means a TypeScript client can import socket.io-client/browser from the npm package and bundle successfully with the shown Deno command.
