	;((name, definition) => {

• Needs to be removed (and the end of it as well)

• The script tag must be changed to have the type="module"

We can remove all of this:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/ponyfill.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/StreamSaver.min.js"></script>
<script>
  import streamSaver from 'streamsaver'
  const streamSaver = require('streamsaver')
  const streamSaver = window.streamSaver
</script>

and replace it with:

<script type="importmap">
  {
    "imports": {
      "streamsaver/StreamSaver.js": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/streamsaver@3/StreamSaver.min.js"
    }
  }
</script>
<script type="module">
  // either one works fine, the later one requires importmaps or a web bundler. 
  import streamSaver from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/streamsaver@3/StreamSaver.min.js'
  import streamSaver from 'streamsaver/StreamSaver.min.js'

  const uInt8 = new TextEncoder().encode('StreamSaver is awesome')
  ...
</script>

• Every green browser now days have good support for web streams, so i think we can remove the hole shebang where we mention any use of custom stream polyfill

// StreamSaver can detect and use the Ponyfill that is loaded from the cdn.
streamSaver.WritableStream = streamSaver.WritableStream
streamSaver.TransformStream = streamSaver.TransformStream

• also the code examples in https://github.com/jimmywarting/StreamSaver.js/tree/master/examples needs to be changed to also have type="module" in their script tags

If you're using next.js, etc., make sure you dynamically bring in streamSaver.js. the way to do this is to import('. /StreamSaver').then
