support package managers by publishing to npmjs.org

[simon]

This isn't a small topic. Looking at:

http://know.cujojs.com/tutorials/modules/authoring-amd-modules

http://darrenderidder.github.io/talks/ModulePatterns/#/

and the example of crypto-js usage using bower:

https://github.com/brix/crypto-js

suggests that I can package for npmjs.com.

I encourage you to do this, also adding typescript bindings would be very useful to adopt this package ;)

[Simon Massey]

Hey thanks for the encouragement. I have recently started a npm version with the intention of publishing it.

With regards to typescript bindings the API is hex or decimal encoded strings. Not working typescript environment I am not sure whether folks would use more complex structured types (or even it such a thing is possible in typescript).

Can you raise a seperate issue for typescript bindings where strings vs BigNumber vs value object types can be discussed (once again I don't know what's possible so lets discuss it on an issue)?

[simon]

@madmarkus given the choices in typescript would you like to propose an issue with a suggestion of how the big numbers used in SRP are typed? http://definitelytyped.org/guides/best-practices.html

[simon]

I have just completed issue #17 which created a pure JS server side class. I needed that for the npm version so that node can test the client and server code against each other.

[Markus S]

cool! thank a lot for the work on this :) I'll get back with a proposal, yes :)

Just so that I don't loose the link this article has some good steps about spending up a CI build and ensuring it doesn't break.

Found that via the morning paper blog:

Was wondering how to depend on people but not have them injection future vulnerabilities. That mechanism would seem like a good idea.

[simon]

Hey @madmarkus I have thought about typescript a bit and concluded I may have been over thinking it a bit. I will raise a new issue for it and sketch an outline on it for your consideration.

Now live on NPM at https://www.npmjs.com/package/thinbus-srp

The code is on GitHub at https://github.com/simbo1905/thinbus-srp-npm

Enjoy!

@madmarkus if you could try out the npm version at the link above and let me know that would be a great help. thanks.
