Need postinstall script in package.json to build dist/index.js

[darcyparker]

Now that dist/* files aren't included in distribution, downstream repos that depend on json-schema-to-typescript are failing with

>> Error: Cannot find module 'json-schema-to-typescript'

I think the cause is that https://github.com/bcherny/json-schema-to-typescript/blob/master/package.json#L5 refers to dist/index.js and this is not in the repo after npm install json-schema-to-typescript.

I speculate this can be resolved by adding postinstall script to your package.json like this: (See https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scripts) (or something similar to this...)

{
  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "./node_modules/.bin/gulp dist"
  }
}

FYI: I have a WIP here: https://github.com/darcyparker/json-schema-to-typescript/tree/postInstallBuildDist

Good catch - I should have tested this instead of assuming it worked as expected.

Fixed in 2.1.2 (ac26a73).

Nice - Thanks.
