ES6 Module Usage

Please install npm package

getDetails({ packageName: 'package-name', target: 'target-element', format: '{ %string }' });

Please add parameter str = true

const str = getDetails({ packageName: 'package-name', target: 'target-element', format: '{ %string }', str: true });
console.log(str);

You can try to import ES6 module directly from CDN:

  import getDetails from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/get-details/es6.js?min';
  getDetails();
