Extension API

Overview

Since CLI extensions are built on top of the Deno runtime, they have access to
two different APIs; the Deno API and the Phylum API.

Deno API

Deno's API is built into the Deno runtime, providing access to all external
interfaces like Network, Disk, or the terminal console. All available
functionality is documented in Deno's API docs. This functionality is
available to all extensions without any imports.

Additionally, Deno also provides a complementary standard library. This includes
utility functions for several commonly used structures like collections, http,
and async. These modules can be imported using the URLs documented in Deno's
standard library documentation or by downloading them and including individual
modules as files. All standard library functionality is documented in Deno's
standard library docs.

The following API methods are not supported:

• https://doc.deno.land/deno/stable/~/Deno.Permissions#request

Phylum API

The Phylum extension API is documented in the TypeScript module file.

You can keep track of the latest changes by following the API's changelog.
