alias does not support URLs

[mmdevcodes]

In snowpack config doing:

alias: {
  'confetti': 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/canvas-confetti'
}

import mypackage from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/canvas-confetti';

Resulted in me getting errors like:

[snowpack] Package "https://cdn.skypack.dev/canvas-confetti" not found. Have you installed it? 
[snowpack] Install failed.

or

[snowpack] Import "confetti" could not be resolved.
If this is a new package, restart your dev server to rebuild your dependencies. 
If you think this is an error, add "confetti" to config.install and Snowpack will include this dependency.

Note that I also tried adding install: ['https://cdn.skypack.dev/canvas-confetti'].

Is there another configuration to rename URL imports if I plan on using it throughout my entire app?

That's correct, this is not currently supported.

We have some plans to improve the Snowpack + Skypack integration story overall, but those haven't really been fleshed out into any concrete plan. This could be a good short-term interface, but for now you need to use the full URL in your code
