downpop

Just a simple way to get a glance at raw download counts for npm packages.

Usage

Via npx

npx downpop <package1> <package2> ... <packageN>

To make sure you are using the latest version you can also do:

npx downpop@latest <package1> <package2> ... <packageN>

Via code

1. Install the package using npm or otherwise:

   npm install downpop
   

2. Import and use in your code:

   import { buildNpmPackageInfoCharts } from 'downpop';
   
   buildNpmPackageInfoCharts([
       'jquery',
       'react',
       'vue'
   ])
   .then(packageInfoChartsResult => console.log(packageInfoChartsResult.charts['last-month']));

Examples

• Browser

API

/**
 * @typedef {Object} NpmPackageInfo
 * @property {string} package
 * @property {number} downloads
 * @property {string} start
 * @property {string} end
 */

/**
 * @typedef {Object} PackageInfo
 * @property {NpmPackageInfo[]} last-day
 * @property {NpmPackageInfo[]} last-week
 * @property {NpmPackageInfo[]} last-month
 * @property {NpmPackageInfo[]} last-year
 */

/**
 * @param {string|string[]} packageNames
 * @returns {Promise<PackageInfo[]>}
 */
function getNpmPackageInfo(packageNames) {...}

/**
 * @typedef {Object} PackageInfoCharts
 * @property {string} last-day
 * @property {string} last-week
 * @property {string} last-month
 * @property {string} last-year
 */

/**
 * @typedef {Object} PackageInfoChartsResult
 * @property {PackageInfoCharts} charts
 * @property {string} error
 */ 

/**
 * @param {string|string[]} packageNames 
 * @returns {Promise<PackageInfoChartsResult>}
 */
function buildNpmPackageInfoCharts(packageNames) {...}

Notes

• If you have Node.js installed, you will in turn have npm installed and thus npx should be available for you to use as well.
