Installing scoped NPM packages

[ischenko]

Good day!

Is it possible to install scoped NPM packages somehow (e.g. @angular/core)?

If the package name specified like "npm-asset/@angular/core" asset manager cannot find the package but if it is specified like "npm-asset/@angular%2fcore" then manager finds the package and downloads its metadata. But after that on the resolving dependencies step I'm getting next error:

Problem 1

• The requested package npm-asset/@angular%2fcore could not be found, it looks like its name is invalid, "@%" is not allowed in package names.

I would like to install these packages without hacks if it is possible :)

This issue makes using Angular 2 impossible. Could you add support for scoped NPM packages, so we can update to Angular 2?

@francoispluchino I still cannot install scoped NPM packages, I'm getting:

The requested package npm-asset/@angular/core could not be found, it looks like its name is invalid, "@" is not allowed in package names.

Or am I missing something? Thanks!

@ischenko Read the doc Work with the NPM scopes.

For your example, your dependency must be: npm-asset/angular--core.

@francoispluchino still cannot install it: The requested package npm-asset/angular--core could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.

I've tried exact version number, wildcard, dev-master and also tried to clear cache.

There is a bug when searching for the package in the NPM Registry when the package is directly added to composer.json. I fix it right away.

@francoispluchino thank you!
