npm it

[forresto]

Hey @brianchirls it has been a while! Could we get this library on npm?

[brianchirls]

Sure. I need to figure out the best way to handle plugins though. Right now, everything uses UMD and depends on either a globally declared Seriously object or requirejs, which I think is not the best way.

Do you have any suggestions on what would work for your use case?

[forresto]

Hmm...

const Seriously = require('seriously') // or import
const accumulator = require('seriously/effects/seriously.accumulator')
const ascii = require('seriously/effects/seriously.ascii')

const mySeriously = new Seriously({plugins: [accumulator, ascii]})

?

I like that approach. The plugins shouldn't need a reference to the main lib

[brianchirls]

I was thinking something like that as well. It'd be a breaking change, but I could have it still register the plugin globally if the window.Seriously object is there.

@brianchirls you can check out the Lebab project, to convert requirejs AMD to the ES6 "imports".

UMD has some handy module wrappers. https://github.com/umdjs/umd

Hi, It's been a while and I haven't seen an npm/yarn installation. I found a solution to the problem on stackoverflow. It originally discusses meteor but the solution also applies to npm/yarn https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37739097/am-trying-to-import-seriously-js-into-a-meteor-application-am-receiving-an-obje/64550800#64550800
