This package is published with the following editions:

• getpackages/esnext/index.js is CoffeeScript Compiled + ESNext + Require

Usage

// Create our instance
var getter = require('getpackages').create({
    onlyLatest: true,           // optional (defaults to `true`), accepts a boolean, `true` will fetch information only for the latest version, `false` wil fetch information for all versions
    log: console.log           // optional (defaults to `null`), accepts a function that accepts the arguments: level, message... 
});
 
// Fetch the data on these github repositories
getter.fetchPackagesByNames(['bevry/getpackages'], function(err, entries){
    console.log(err, entries);
 
    // Fetch all the repo data on these github users/organisations
    getter.fetchPackagesByKeyword('docpad-plugin', function(err, entries){
        console.log(err, entries);
 
        // Get the combined listing
        console.log(getter.getEntries());
    });
});
