Release request of version 2.1.6 in npm #212

Open ukjin1192 opened 8 years ago

Thanks for making this useful library :)

I'd like to request release version 2.1.6 in npm.

Version 2.1.6 has main attribute at package.json, which is not included in version 2.1.4, for webpack users.

However, it is not released in npm yet. Its latest release version is 2.1.4. You can check here

Thanks in advance.

While there are no updates packages in npm you can use a git URL to have the latest version, like this:

npm install -S git+https://github.com/PMSI-AlignAlytics/dimple.git

so you'll have the following dependency entry in your package.json:

"dimple": "git+https://github.com/PMSI-AlignAlytics/dimple.git",

@pachi Thanks! That's great idea.

@pachi This is actually not such a great idea if you plan on using dimple in production. It's always sensible to pin the versions.

The PR for fixing the "main" attribute in package.json was submitted in September '15. Any reason why this is not in npm?

Whenever a version with a suitable fix for that issue is available in npm then it is indeed better to use a released version. My proposal is just a workaround.
