Get Packages


































Fetch the information for packages inside the npm registry

Install


NPM


Install: npm install --save getpackages



Module: require('getpackages')





Editions


This package is published with the following editions:






getpackages aliases getpackages/index.js which uses Editions to automatically select the correct edition for the consumers environment



getpackages/source/index.coffee is Source + CoffeeScript + Require





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





getpackages/es2015/index.js is CoffeeScript Compiled + ES2015 + Require





Older environments may need Babel's Polyfill or something similar.


## Usage

``` javascript

// 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());

	});

});

```

- When `onlyLatest` is `true`, entry data is retrieved from: http://registry.npmjs.org/#{packageName}/latest

- When `onlyLatest` is `false`, entry data is retrieved from: http://registry.npmjs.org/#{packageName}
