Is there any real explanation why this project isn't published in NPM repo? It seems like it's ready for it, based on the current package.json.

ps: to be able to publish this the name field must be changed, as the scorm-api-wrapper is already taken by some module which depends on another module (pipwerks-scorm-api-wrapper) which in turn is a module wrapper for this project... What a mess... ^^"

This codebase predates the existence of NPM. It has not been significantly updated since before NodeJS existed. It was not written in a modern modular fashion because that's now how people packaged JS libraries a decade ago. It's certainly possible to refactor it into a modular pattern and publish on NPM/CDN/what-have-you, which someone has already done.

The other link you point to is an unrelated library. It has nothing to do with the pipwerks SCORM wrapper.

You're completely right... I've messed up my links! Of course this project is way older than NPM itself, but the last commit was a year ago, which is "recent enough", so i thought it could be published simply by exporting the pipwerks object.

But, again, you're completely right. The current codebase may be unfit for publication as is.

Closing since there is already a version available on NPM
