is component dead?

[chemzqm]

I'm using components of component to make website and new components from npm everyday, but I think the website and command line tool of component is dead, webpack and npm are better choice IMO.

thanks. I like the small repos on (https://github.com/component).

http://component.github.io/ is confusing. seems to be different libraries than what is on github.com/component

// Update

Just using the word component is ambiguous!

Component, the package manager and build tool, located under the componentjs organization is deprecated, see here: https://github.com/componentjs/component/blob/master/Readme.md or here https://github.com/componentjs/component/issues/639

All the repos within the component organization are kind of the official components.

http://component.github.io provides a registry and everyone can add his library to this registry, like npm. You just need a component.json in your project root and then you can publish it this way

Ty for the quick reply. So componentjs is DEPRECATED. The repos on https://github.com/component have recent commits.

What is your opinion on official components?

I'm still maintaining a few of the "official components", but only for usage in npm. This said, I strongly encourage you to use webpack or browserify rather than component.

Yes For building I use rollup for es6 and sometimes use webpack or broserify. I find the official components small focused and cute. So I wondered if you use them. Should they be rewritten to es2015 one day?

Should they be rewritten to es2015 one day?

probably not, as component doesn't support clever lifecycle hooks like npm's prepublish.. plus they work fine as es5 currently ;)
