wrangler in deno, using wrangler in the Deno runtime (npm module)

deno-wrangler-deploy-problem.sh

# running wrangler with deno can have issues with properly caching (npm) dependencies (problem shown below)
# the solution is:
# 1. ensure there's a deno.json with nodeModulesDir 'auto' where running
echo '{"nodeModulesDir": "auto"}' > deno.json
# 2. fix is to cache wrangler dependencies
deno cache npm:wrangler
# 3. now will work where the deno.json resolves
wrangler deploy --dry-run



# here's the problem as I saw it:
wrangler deploy --dry-run

# to use wrangler in Deno:

deno run npm:wrangler --version

deno run --allow-env --allow-read --allow-net npm:wrangler d1 list

deno run -A npm:wrangler dev

# to install for regular use, eg `wrangler d1 list`

deno install -f -A -n wrangler npm:wrangler@latest

deno install --global -f -A -n wrangler npm:wrangler@latest

# now can do
wrangler --version
