Node bindings and npm about hext

[samatt]

just writing to confirm npm install hext works! thanks again!

I will definitely try to fix the build for Node v10/v11 in the coming days.

any plans to put this up on an NPM registry?

Yes. It would be great if Hext was easily installable through npm, just like with pip.
I will look into it in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you for the kind words!

The Hext language bindings for Node are now compatible with nodejs v8, v10 and v11:

cd hext/libhext/bindings/nodejs
npm install
npm run build
# run tests
./test/blackbox.js.sh ../../../../test/case/*hext

@samatt Thank you for the bug report - Please let me know if there are more problems.

I will leave this issue open for the npm package.

omg that totally worked! thanks for your insanely fast response!

Hext for Node is now installable through npm:

npm install hext

(Does not include the htmlext command-line utility).

Compatibility

• Node v8, v10, v11
• Linux (GLIBC ≥2.14, basically any distribution built after the year 2012)
• Mac OS X (10.11 El Capitan or later)
• x86_64 only

https://www.npmjs.com/package/hext

Note: The Hext npm package starts at version 10. Earlier versions refer to a deprecated package of a previous owner. Npm's support is awesome and moved the package to my account.

Testing

An easy way to test an npm install is to run the following:

mkdir /tmp/hext-test
cd /tmp/hext-test
npm install hext
node -e 'require("hext")' && echo "hext loaded successfully"
git clone https://github.com/thomastrapp/hext.git
cd hext/test
cp ../libhext/bindings/nodejs/htmlext.js .
HTMLEXT="node htmlext.js" ./blackbox.sh case/*hext

@samatt I am closing this issue, but feel free to comment or open a new issue.
