Store the full contents of top-level package.json files?

Would you be amenable to storing the full package.json Object for the top level modules under System.npm, as opposed to the current stub? We end up re-fetching the top level package.json files to get pertinent information in our app.

Thanks for posting. I don't think we should to this by default because some package.json's can get quite large. However, I think a flag that turns this on is reasonable. Something like:

system: {
  includePackageProperties: true,
  includePackageProperties: ["property1","property2"]
}

where true would pull in everything, but you could also specify certain properties too.

Yep, sounds fair.

What do you mean by "top level modules"? You mean the app's own package.json or more than that?

I meant the app's package.json and that of any direct dependencies.
