npm package ?

[mdartic]

Hello again,

I'm using npm to instantiate my projects, and not bower.

There isn't any npm package published yet, I think it could be nice.

But, with npm, we can install a package directly from his github URL, for example

npm install socib/Leaflet.TimeDimension#d579118

I encounter some errors :

npm ERR! Linux 4.4.0-47-generic
npm ERR! argv "/home/mdartic/.nvm/versions/node/v4.4.7/bin/node" "/home/mdartic/.nvm/versions/node/v4.4.7/bin/npm" "install" "socib/Leaflet.TimeDimension#d579118"
npm ERR! node v4.4.7
npm ERR! npm  v2.15.8
npm ERR! code E404

npm ERR! 404 Registry returned 404 for GET on https://registry.npmjs.org/iso8601-js-period
npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404 'iso8601-js-period' is not in the npm registry.
npm ERR! 404 You should bug the author to publish it (or use the name yourself!)

npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a

This is due to the iso8601-js-period that is not declared into npmjs registry.

Several questions :

• what do you think about publishing this plugin in npm ?
• do you agree i make a PR to update package.json and add iso8601-js-period in dependency ?

Hi @mdartic,
we should make a PR at iso8601-js-period, or ask @phammer if he can add a package.json in their repository, no?

Here, I assume we should change:
"iso8601-js-period": "*",
by:
"iso8601-js-period": "nezasa/iso8601-js-period",

And its ok for me to publish the plugin in npm!

[mdartic]

I'll do that, but I checked the repo and I didn't see any activity since the last commit in 2013.

So, I prefer to add the repo first in your package.json and after see if there is any chance to transform iso8601 in a npm package.

[mdartic]

So, in fact I've created the npm package of iso8601-js-period.

I didn't remember npm installneed a repo with a package.json.

Thanks for reviewing the PR.

[bielfrontera]

thanks @mdartic! merged! :)

[mdartic]

Great, thank you, could you publish it to npm ?

[bielfrontera]

done. Can you test it?

[mdartic]

Well, the package is well published,

But I encounter an error with the initialisation of the plugin.

I use webpack, and I import leaflet-timedimension.

When I execute the code, I get the error in the browser

leaflet.timedimension.min.js:18Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

And if I import jQuery before leaflet-timedimension in my code, same result.

If you have an idea, I'll take it !

Else, maybe I'm gonna make a PR for #86 :-)

[mdartic]

By the way, thanks for publishing it !

[mdartic]

To make it work for the moment, we have to include a script tag and load jQuery basically before the bundle of webpack, or the plugin itself.

Just like if we were writing vanilla JS.

But it's ok, and I close the issue. I'm gonna work on #86 to make the integration better.

[bielfrontera]

I managed to make it work with webpack (v1) with these instructions:

require('iso8601-js-period');
window.jQuery = require('jquery');
require('leaflet');
require('leaflet-timedimension');

I think this is related to #12

[mdartic]

Thank you ! Works perfectly.
