Subject: NPM importer or how create packages
Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2022 22:02:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <o0-2t5iO5OimVoZ7VU7Ddn8rZ9lxsWqL-uGTdyXiMQ9GCMZtXNdmdWUq4QNhwivJGmRxGHqTsC-ei5xQPKt7ttOaJcbVTpVTZvVGrlMx4qI=@protonmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I'd like to package one NPM module [1]. It works with archive format and provides enqueue and dequeue operations.

However, I'm not javascript developer and with knowledge of Rust and Go dependencies I expect the package will pull lot of them as simple package definition yielded missing packages coming from `package.json`.

I read discussion around binary npm imported Merging the “binary” NPM importer. [2]

So if there is no guix import npm​ what would be the best approach to create package(s) for this NPM module?

Or is it better to create some simple script in Python/Go/Rust to do the job in the meantime? I don't need NPM or Javascript for the project otherwise - just extract the archive.

Also using Nix version is not a possibility as it pulls to much dependencies.

Btw thanks for the link to John Carmack speech.
