package missing from npm registry about scanjs

[zombie]

hey @cathartic, i just tested this, and it seems to work for me:

npm install mozilla/scanjs

can you try again maybe, and this time possibly with the --verbose flag (warning, long console spew)?

the only thing that changed recently is that we removed instruction on how to install scanjs using npm from README. that's because we are in a bit of a flux currently, re-organizing how this stuff should work/be used in #158, so for more info on that, check back in a week or two..

@cathartic: Thanks for raising this. It is indeed striking: I do not know how issued the "unpublish" here.

But as @zombie said, we will change the repo structure to move the web app as well as the nodejs bits out of here. That way, scanjs will be a library people can easily consume in their project. After this work has concluded, we will likely republish on npm.

Hi, I noticed that there is a module on npm for the library, is that the official one? if not, is it reasonable to expect an official one in the short term?

I don’t know who slalom digital but is not related to us afaik. To be honest, I hadn’t really considered making an npm module since the tool was intended to be run in the browser, but we could do I suppose.

@freddyb thoughts?

If the module were to be available on npm, it would make it easier to integrate it into build tools, for instance one could make something similar as gulp-jshint.

Well the scanning bits could surely run in nodejs, without all the browser stuff.
I'll try to get #158 done soonish and will submit an official package afterwards.

(Sorry for the late response, was out of office last week)

Thank you Frederick, no problem!
