Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Ideally, the datasets API would be available cross language, like Keras or TensorFlow. Many TF learners are coming to TensorFlow from JavaScript, and would benefit from the access to known datasets.

Describe the solution you'd like

in package.json

npm add @tensorflow/tensorflow-datasets 

in index.js

import * as tfds from '@tensorflow/tensorflow-datasets' 
const ds = tfds.load(name='mnist');

Additional context
js.tensorflow.org

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Python datasets API and the proposed package.json and index.js interface, then check js.tensorflow.org for the expected JavaScript ecosystem. Done would mean agreeing on and delivering a JavaScript package that exposes the datasets API through NPM and can load a dataset such as MNIST.
