GUI Lock Editor

[AngelMunoz]

Adding packages is quite straight forward

dotnet perla add -p package-name

but when a package has exports like lit

• lit/directives/style-map.js
• lit/directives/class-map.js

things get quite annoying, you have to manually edit the lock file. This is possible because the lock file is nothing more than the import map itself

depending on the source, we might be able to infer which is the url we're looking for i.e.

• "lit": "https://cdn.skypack.dev/pin/[email protected]/mode=imports/optimized/lit.js"

vs

• "lit/directives/style-map.js": "https://cdn.skypack.dev/pin/[email protected]/mode=imports/optimized/lit/directives/style-map.js",

skypack offers a quite straight forward, jspm isn't that far away

• "lit": "https://ga.jspm.io/npm:[email protected]/index.js"

vs

• "lit/directives/class-map.js": "https://ga.jspm.io/npm:[email protected]/directives/class-map.js"

We should be able to present a GUI tool at /~perla~/editor or something like that that allows the user to better edit their import map, either by them typing the import and us trying to get the correct import or if not at least just so we can ensure that the lock file is well formed json

we could also add a command
