XS-Advanced NodeJS UpStream Registry

I work on the Startup.Focus team and was recently helping a startup with their NodeJS development.

They wanted to include some public NodeJS modules but were running into package not found issues.

…
npm ERR! 404 no such package available : node_pkg
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404 ‘node_pkg’ is not in the npm registry.
…

 

I knew this was an issue with the default configuration of the di-local-npm-registry and wanted to have a nice way to explain the how and why of changing it to search the public registry.

 

I ended up creating an example project to illustrate the issues and reasoning behind the fix.

 

https://bitbucket.org/alunde/mta_upstream_registry

 

If you are running into similar issues, please take a git->clone the project into your server and build/run the web module for more information.

 

Hope this helps someone out there.

 

-Andrew

      Hi Andrew. You made me asking another question: what is Bitbucket good for? Thanks!

      Hi Witaliy,

      BitBucket has one advantage in comparison to GitHub, you do not have to pay for private git repos. Private Repos are also free at BitBucket.

      Cheers, HP

      Hi Andrew,

      Can I setup the UPSTREAM_LINK only for my project in WebIDE itself?

      If yes, how can I do that?
