Removed from NPM?

Issue #4 new
Chris Wright created an issue

Has this module been removed from NPM? I noticed that it is no longer available (and replaced with another module). If this project is deprecated and no longer maintained, please update the readme to reflect this.

    The project is still maintained, though do to its very limited focus, I don't anticipate ever making changes.

    I removed it from NPM because it doesn't really make sense to use it in a Node environment and there was another project that wanted to use the name. I should have double checked how many people were using the NPM module though, so I apologize. It honestly didn't occur to me that people were using it through NPM since I just use the script directly.

    Are you using it in a browser but just installing it through NPM? Should I re-add it back to NPM but under a different name?

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

    Thanks for the quick response. I wasn't notified of your reply for some reason.

    We use npm for front-end deps now instead of bower to simplify our workflow. We opted to link directly to the script as you mentioned after realizing the module had been removed because it broke our build(!). Fortunately we were able to fix the issue in a timely manner so no need to apologize :)

    As for adding it back to npm, that's ultimately up to you. Now that we have a direct reference to the script and know you most likely will not provide changes/ updates I'd be fine either way.

    And thank you for providing this module in the first place. We have to support IE8 and this works great!

    For now I think I'm going to leave things as is. If I get any requests for an NPM module, I'll revisit it. Someone else suggested my project name was misleading, so maybe down the line I'll change the name and re-add it to NPM.

    Glad you're finding it useful!
