show-deno: deno module search & browser

[cdaringe]

problem

deno doesn't have a place to show off available modules in databases.json

proof of concept

• demo: denolandia.cdaringe.com
• src: https://github.com/dino-dna/denolandia
• docker image (sans db): https://hub.docker.com/r/cdaringe/denolandia (it's super chubby ATM, sue me)

arch

this is a somewhat hipster stack

• ui: react [typescript]
• db: postgres
• api (gql): koa & postgraphile [typescript] (no, it's not in deno, yet ;)
• common lib: [typescript]
• package-scraper: [typescript]

there are ultimately two running artifacts at the moment:

1. the api. the api embeds the the package scraper and static file server for the UI.
   1. jthe scraper pulls the database.json every N minutes, extracts github metadata, and upserts data on the github projects into postgres.
   2. RLS only allows a protected user to write package meta into the the db
   3. the auto-generated api from postgraphile serves GQL requests from searches from the ui
2. the db

ui functionality is pretty limited ATM. you can sort, filter, paginate in realtime. full text search isn't actually wired in.

so, ya. deno is rad. i want to contribute. i thought this would be a fun little POC. let's talk if it's something folks would be interested in pursuing. if not or you have a different vision--no sweat. i didn't reach out before i started yesterday. i had a bunch of boilerplate i was able to adapt to whip this up quickly!

a couple of updates this evening.

• got rid of the react-table's headers
• added package license info
• fixed the CSP errors
• did a little bit of mobile friendly-ification
• tried to get releases from github's gql api, but it keeps returning empty arrays 🤔 .

next up is to actually wire in the search bar, expose other "columns" that one can filter and sort on, maybe start a readme harvester.

added a few more fixes/updates:

• actually wired in the search bar 🌮
• added ci 🏁
• fixed issues w/ github meta icons (w/ helpful patch from @j-f1)
• fixed module name sort icon
• refactored things to match patched registry json format
• renamed usages of package => module

Very nice - closing this issue tho

how does this be different to deno.land/x?

[cdaringe]

It didn’t exist at the time.

[ooker777]

I wonder why you didn't wait for them to make it? That would waste your effort less

[cdaringe]

It's open source, friend! Who is them? We are them!

[ooker777]

So is your code integrated to deno.land/x?
