what does autoscan do?

[andreineculau]

read https://github.com/nickkolok/paraquire/blob/d438aed4d5e23dd7612870c906fb4e7ff2575c28/etc/autoscan-proposal.md and i'm in the dark completely

is autoscan:true supposed to mean look in ~package.json~ paraquire.json ? and autoscan:false doesn't ? I see no point - use that as default, and maybe allow for configs to be altered in the ~pararequire~ paraquire.json call.

Secondly, I want to highlight that in my original tweet I said a module ~pararequire.js~ paraquire.js (not a json file) https://twitter.com/andreineculau/status/900808960667766784 which makes "For example, I don't know how to put in JSON the following:" redundant. babel, eslint, etc have all introduced js-based configuration because it keeps the world open (you can run code, you can require configs from other files, etc)

I.e. you mean that paraquire should use another entry point? I.e. require looks to index.js, paraquire looks to paraindex.js, where should be smth honest like this:

module.exports =
paraquire('./index.js',{builtin:{fs:true}});

?

In this case the dependent should use usual require:

var lib = require('lib/paraindex.js');

I somehow get the feeling we're not understanding each other.

1. What should autoscan do?
2. if autoscan is supposed to be a flag to tell paraquire to look up permissions in some well-known configuration file, then I would do without the flag and always do the lookup

Yes, unfortunately certain misunderstanding takes place =/ So, let's step thesis by thesis.

Your Thesis 1: library should describe permissions needed for it in special easy-readed file. Your Thesis 2: this file shoul be .js, not .json Your Thesis 3: paraquire shoul automatically scan package directory for such a file

Am I right?

yup

So, My Thesis 4: this work culd be done by entry point, alternative to index.js. Let's call it paranodex.js. My Thesis 5: paranodex.js can contain all necessary paraquire calls. List of paraquire calls is fair enough to determine rights used by library.

Do you agree with these?

I can m(dis)agree better when i see it ;) Go your own path. At this point I cannot dedicate that much energy to this brainstorming based on the points that i raised in the issues (small ROI), so i think i would influence you negatively
