refactor(module): ajax load dpd-module list from http://npm.dathub.org/

[ericfong]

No longer need to cache the module list in file

[NicolasRitouet]

@ericfong It looks like this PR got a bit lost, is it still relevant? Should I merge it?

[NicolasRitouet]

Looks like dathub.org is down, any alternative?

[ericfong]

Mmm, hard to find npm repo mirror that allow Access-Control-Allow-Origin ...

@ericfong how about npmsearch? https://github.com/solids/npmsearch

Here is an example use case in gulp. https://github.com/gulpjs/plugins/blob/master/src/scripts/controller/pluginList.js#L27-L38

BTW, the page has been down for a while because of dathub. Something weird. http://docs.deployd.com/modules/

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://npm.dathub.org/api/rows?start=dpd-. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://docs.deployd.com' is therefore not allowed access.

Even if calling url directly, we could get nothing:

{
  "dat": true,
  "version": "7.0.4"
}

[ericfong]

The problem is we don't have a real server for the doc. We just using github page for that. Any help on that?

Just a simple cross domain ajax call....

[cognitom]

@ericfong npmsearch allows access from any site. Looks enough...?

res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');

[ericfong]

Oh, you mean directly ajax http://npmsearch.com/

Sorry, I am thinking you want to setup an npmsearch server when you point me to the github repo of npmsearch.

Yes. that may work. Thanks for your suggestion
