Improve search

[edgardmessias]

Rework the search page to show multiple packages by search.

For bower, use the search method in BowerRepository For npm, implement npms in NpmRegistry

For search field, we can use Buttons with dropdowns, but using the selec field instead of the button.

@hiqsol , we can use the https://libraries.io/api

Can you check the permission to use?

[hiqsol]

I just tried a couple of searches... Did you try? Do you find it suitable? I didn't find a way to limit package search to npm/bower. I tried search like q='npm moment' and it gives not really useful results :-/

What do you mean about permissions?

[edgardmessias]

In https://libraries.io/api, you can filter by Bower or NPM using &platforms=<value>

Ex.: Only Bower: https://libraries.io/api/search?q=moment&platforms=Bower Ex.: Only NPM: https://libraries.io/api/search?q=moment&platforms=NPM Ex.: Only Bower and NPM: https://libraries.io/api/search?q=moment&platforms=Bower,NPM Note: Remove /api to show site.

For sort, add &sort=<value>, you can sort by relevance(blank value), rank, stars, dependents_count, dependent_repos_count, latest_release_published_at, contributions_count and created_at

We can implement the \yii\data\BaseDataProvider using guzzle

For platforms: https://github.com/librariesio/libraries.io/blob/master/app/controllers/application_controller.rb#L75 For sort: https://github.com/librariesio/libraries.io/blob/master/app/controllers/search_controller.rb#L26

About permission, if the libraries.io allows us to use in the asset-packagist, with a higher rate limit

Current rate limit is 60/request/minute

[hiqsol]

Cool about platform filter :) Didn't see it in their doc. With this feature it looks quite nice to use.

According to the current usage of asset-packagist.org — 60 requests per minute is more then enough :)

If you're about to implement it please consider yii2-hiart, we've developped this library and use it for api interactions very successfully.

[edgardmessias]

I'll start as soon as possible.

[hiqsol]

Cool! Thank you!

@hiqsol, I done without using yii2-hiart.

I tried with yii2-hiart, but the DataProvider part needs to improve a lot.
