This import maps things is pretty cool! When you used it to polyfill kv-storage you used /web_modules/kv-storage-polyfill.js as the initial call:

      “/web_modules/kv-storage-polyfill.js": [
        "std:kv-storage",
        "/web_modules/kv-storage-polyfill.js"
      ]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Would it be possible to go the other way:

      “std:kv-storage": [
        "std:kv-storage",
        "/web_modules/kv-storage-polyfill.js"
      ]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Which would allow the seemingly more “correct” import { StorageArea } from ‘std:kv-storage’? Or maybe “long lasting” is the better word…

It seems that as of now, this is not possible, chrome will log the following in the dev tools:
Ignored an import map key "std:kv-storage": Invalid key (non-fetch scheme)

Even though, according to the spec that should be possible yeah: github.com/WICG/import-maps#for-bu...

What about importception

{
      "kv-storage": [
        "/web_modules/kv-storage-polyfill.js"
      ],
      "/web_modules/kv-storage-polyfill.js": [
        "std:kv-storage",
        "/web_modules/kv-storage-polyfill.js"
      ]
}

Then in use

import * as KvStorage from 'kv-storage';

Would that work?

Hehe, that'll still result in: Ignored an import map key "std:kv-storage": Invalid key (non-fetch scheme)
