As I've demonstrated throughout this article, production-ready versions of any NPM package that use ES Modules can be utilized in your import maps through CDNs like ESM, Unpkg, and Skypack. Even if the package on NPM wasn't designed for the ES Modules system and native browser import behavior, services like Skypack and ESM can transform them to be ready to use in an import map. You can use the search bar on Skypack's homepage to find browser-optimized NPM packages that can be used right away without fiddling with a build step.
