Introduction to npm-name

npm-name is a comprehensive package for Node.js developers that provides numerous powerful APIs to streamline your project development. Whether you’re looking to validate package names, access package information, or automate npm tasks, npm-name has got you covered.

Useful API Functions

Checking if a Package Name is Available

You can easily check if a package name is available using the isAvailable function.

  
    const { isAvailable } = require('npm-name');

    (async () => {
      const available = await isAvailable('my-package-name');
      console.log(available ? 'Name is available!' : 'Name is taken.');
    })();
  

Fetching Package Information

To get detailed information about a package, use the getPackageInfo function.

  
    const { getPackageInfo } = require('npm-name');

    (async () => {
      const info = await getPackageInfo('express');
      console.log(info);
    })();
  

Fetching Package Downloads

To fetch download statistics of a package, use the getPackageDownloads function.

  
    const { getPackageDownloads } = require('npm-name');

    (async () => {
      const downloads = await getPackageDownloads('express');
      console.log(downloads);
    })();
  

Searching for Packages

To search for packages by keywords, use the searchPackages function.

  
    const { searchPackages } = require('npm-name');

    (async () => {
      const results = await searchPackages('validator');
      console.log(results);
    })();
  

Example Application

Let’s build a simple application that integrates all the above APIs from npm-name.

  
    const { isAvailable, getPackageInfo, getPackageDownloads, searchPackages } = require('npm-name');

    (async () => {
      const packageName = 'express';
      
      const available = await isAvailable(packageName);
      console.log(available ? 'Name is available!' : 'Name is taken.');

      if (!available) {
        const info = await getPackageInfo(packageName);
        console.log('Package Info:', info);

        const downloads = await getPackageDownloads(packageName);
        console.log('Package Downloads:', downloads);

        const relatedPackages = await searchPackages('web framework');
        console.log('Related Packages:', relatedPackages);
      }
    })();
  

By using npm-name, you can greatly enhance your workflow and project efficiency, ensuring that you’re always ahead of the curve in Node.js development.
