Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
npm-registry-fetch
Advanced tools
The npm-registry-fetch package is a utility that provides a simple interface to fetch resources from the npm registry. It is designed to handle various aspects of communication with the npm registry, such as handling authentication, customizing requests, and processing responses. This package is particularly useful for developers who need to interact programmatically with the npm registry to fetch package data, publish updates, or perform other registry-related tasks.
Fetching package metadata
This feature allows developers to fetch metadata about a package from the npm registry. The code sample demonstrates how to retrieve JSON data for the npm-registry-fetch package itself.
const fetch = require('npm-registry-fetch');
fetch.json('https://registry.npmjs.org/npm-registry-fetch').then(data => {
console.log(data);
}).catch(err => {
console.error('Error fetching package:', err);
});
Custom request options
This feature allows users to customize requests when interacting with the npm registry. The code sample shows how to set custom headers and request methods.
const fetch = require('npm-registry-fetch');
const opts = {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
};
fetch('https://registry.npmjs.org/npm-registry-fetch', opts).then(response => {
return response.json();
}).then(data => {
console.log(data);
}).catch(err => {
console.error('Error with custom request:', err);
});
The 'request' package is a simplified HTTP request client that supports numerous features for making HTTP calls. It is similar to npm-registry-fetch but is not specifically tailored for interacting with the npm registry. It offers broader HTTP request capabilities but lacks the specialized npm registry integration and convenience features that npm-registry-fetch provides.
Axios is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and node.js. Like npm-registry-fetch, it can be used to make HTTP requests to any URL, including the npm registry. However, axios is more general-purpose and does not include built-in configurations or optimizations specifically for the npm registry, unlike npm-registry-fetch which is optimized for such interactions.
npm-registry-fetch
is a Node.js
library that takes the contents of a package.json
and package-lock.json
(or
npm-shrinkwrap.json
) and returns a nested tree data structure representing the
logical relationships between the different dependencies.
$ npm install npm-logical-tree
