npm-packages

Fetch a user's package count from NPM

Usage

getPackages = require 'npm-packages'
 
success = (count) -> ...
error = (err) -> ...
progress = (countSoFar) -> ...
 
getPackages 'someUserName', success, error, progress

Features

• Uses promises
• Supports paginated responses
• Supports progress for paginated responses

Implementation notes

• Uses scraping (:[) because NPM has no API and the npm-stats package is inconsistent and times out.
• Because of the scraping approach, we cannot differentiate between user that exist but have no repos, and users that don't exist. Either will return a rejected promise.

Supported environments

• Node
• CommonJS
