Offer web download without npm

[rugk]

Not everyone likes npm or even has it installed. Maybe someone would also just like to quickly use your lib or so and therefore it would be nice if the JS file(s) could also be offered as a simple download.

When doing this e.g. via CDNs or simply GItHub Pages one can even directly include it in the HTML page.

Maybe we can use https://github.com/cdnjs/cdnjs ?

Would you be interested in doing this request ?

[rugk]

GitHub pages would be enough IMHO, but it's your decision. I think there is not much to do except uploading… depending on where you publish it.

I second this. I don't want any node.js or NPM stuff to bloat my host, so I had to build this inside a Docker container just to get the .js file out. Here's how I did it:

$ docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd):/buildresult" node:7 bash
$ git clone https://github.com/edi9999/jsqrcode.git /work \
	&& cd /work \
	&& npm install \
	&& npm run build \
	&& cp dist/index.js dist/index.js.map /buildresult

Generated files do not belong in a git repository, the real solution is to use cdnjs, they are specialised in hosting js files for the browser

Generated files don't belong in the repo I agree, but there should be a link to the built file. Or use Github releases for that (just like for compiled binaries) On Jul 8, 2017 10:23, "Edgar Hipp" <notifications@github.com> wrote: Generated files do not belong in a git repository, the real solution is to use cdnjs, they are specialised in hosting js files for the browser — You are receiving this because you commented.
