Get val code

GET https://esm.town/v/alias/{username}/{val_name}

This is the endpoint for val source code: it’s what Val Town itself uses internally when you run vals. For example, the std/set val is available on esm.town at https://esm.town/v/std/set?v=15

  • This endpoint will always redirect to a specific version (?v=15) if a version isn’t provided initially.
  • We detect your client - whether it’s a browser, Deno, or something else, and try to serve raw TypeScript source code when the client is able to parse it, and transpiled JavaScript when it can’t. This includes JSX syntax. See our guide on interoperability for more information on using vals in other systems.
  • Private vals are accessible on esm.town only by providing a Bearer token.
