Please add this official package to npmjs.com

I saw someone is sending PR/working on it. Please review them and merge them if OK. Thanks!

I saw this one: https://github.com/mercmobily/js-interpreter but I think it's better to put all stuff in this repo. Why can't we do this?

[mercmobily]

I respectfully and humbly disagree. By using the other repo, you have encountered ad edge case while using Webpack + Typescript. In your issue here https://github.com/mercmobily/js-interpreter/issues you vaguely outline the issue, and then state that "don't have much time to make a full example". I have a proposed solution for your case (based on other solutions of other package maintainers who had similar problems); please let me know if it works for you -- or if you prefer to use a fork that is 112 commits behind the official interpreter (and 29 forking commits that won't merge).

This is precisely why I think keeping things separate is better. I will be more than happy to deal with problems/improvements/edge cases for the distributed version. I am also planning on providing a ES5 minified version.

Let's leave the JS-Interpreter team in peace, getting the real stuff done.

I do think providing an NPM package is helpful, as from what I can see, Node.js is a supported runtime and it would make it a lot easier for Node.js users to implement this package.

So closed here.

Thanks for taking matters in to your own hands, @hsluoyz, but I'm going to reopen this as I concur that there should be an official package.

I feel it would be worthwhile for me to pick in. I also think that there should be an official NPM package. Please note that at the moment: https://github.com/aminmarashi-binary/JS-Interpreter#readme (NPM: js-jnterpreter) This is a packaged version of the js-interpreter. I had discussions with the author, pointing out that having a fork was a bad idea. He agreed, and stopped being a fork -- instead, all he does is have the js-interpreter repository as a sub-module, and uses it to 1) Add some CLI features (which are actually quite nice) 2) builds it so that it's ready to use https://github.com/mobily-enterprises/js-interpreter (NPM: js-interpreter-npm) This is the one that was hopefully going to become the official package, if aminmarashi-binary/JS-Interpreter hadn't stopped having an old fork. When he changed that policy, and stopped being a fork, there was less of a need for an "official" package. mobily-enterprises/js-interpreter (my repository) has a much simpler approach to packaging than the other one, it doesn't "build" it... it does very little I am happy with whatever. I am in no way attached to any possible course. I will keep the package js-interpreter-npm since I use it for my own projects. However, I am happy to rename it if it causes confusion. I do recommend you get in touch with the maintainer of aminmarashi-binary/JS-Interpreter so that he's involved too. He's great to talk to. I hope this helps!

@hsluoyz I just realised, after writing this, that your npm package is based on a git repo which is a fork of aminmarashi-binary/JS-Interpreter. With all due respect, I am not 100% sure this is a good route: having an official repo which is a form of a derivative of the js-interpreter.

@mercmobily hi, currently I'm not working on this project related stuff any more. And at that time (1 year ago), I just resolved my issue by forking and releasing my own package for myself to use. Sorry if it misleads you guys into something that I forked the project to be a new "official" and "maintained" one. I have deleted my comment at: #173 (comment)

Generally, I hope the project owner will release an official NPM package. But it's a decision to be made by the owner.

Recently I'm not working on related stuff any more. I tried to close this issue but it's opened again by someone:) Feel free to use this issue to track the progress and allow to drop me in this conversation (aka without AT me), as I will also unsubscribe myself from this issue. Thank you all!
