Publish `litps` to `npm`?

[paluh]

Maybe we can distribute compiled litps with npm. What do you think?

[paluh]

P.S. @Thimoteus It seems that we can rip this piece from pscid or pulp.

[Thimoteus]

Yeah, probably worth looking into, though I've never published a binary on npm before.

[paluh]

I've not done this before too. It seems that literate-purescript is already taken on npm. Do you think that litps is good as a package name?

[paluh]

Following pscid package.json and .npmignore I've created dirty experimental publish workflow which works fine:

https://github.com/paluh/literate-purescript/commit/cc8c02d07fa93e245ef835f803a9d2d7ff852500

I'm not sure if this is the most beautiful approach as it adds index.js into the repo and doesn't bundle anything but copies the whole ./output dir into published package.

Do we want to take this easy route?

[paluh]

P.S. So npm install paluh-litps then paluh-litps --help works fine.

[Thimoteus]

As long as it's maintainable, it should be fine :man_shrugging:

[paluh]

@Thimoteus It seems to be maintainable as pscid is long standing project already.

1. Should I provide a PR with this solution?

2. Would you be so kind and publish a package yourself? This process requires a registration and npm authentication but it gives you a full control over package release, publishing and unpublishing.

[paluh]

@Thimoteus I don't want to bother you but maybe you can find a moment and consider answering above two questions ;-)

Hey, I don't think I'll have time to look into this this week, but I've added a reminder for next weekend, so I'll let you know then. For now, you can make a PR and I'll take a look over the weekend.
