Publish to npm? #17

Closed ragulka closed 10 years ago

Hey, would be great if you could publish this module on npm. npm does allow front-end only packages/modules and a lot of them are already there, including jquery.

It would make it a bit easier to do dev deps management.

Done.

However, I didn't add the dependency to jQuery in the package.json because currently, I cannot express this dependency in the code. In other words: if I added the dependency, you would still need to load jQuery explicitly wherever you use jquery-simulate-ext since it isn't loaded automatically.

Is this an issue for you anyway? Would Require.js solve this? On the other hand: with Require.js I would introduce a new dependency just to make the other dependency easier to handle. xD So this would make things more complicated for browser usage.

Well, my use case is that I am using your plugin to test my client-side jQuery plugin in node, without launching a browser. I am sinulating the browser/DOM using jsdom. So I am taking care of the jquery dependency myself.

It would be great in the longer run, though, if you could refactor/repackage this plugin so that it runs both in the browser and node, with automatic dependency resolving on node.
