api

tla.getNames(opts, next)

Get available package names from npm.

If opts.online is true, verify that the names are actually available. Otherwise, a local package name database is used, which may be slightly out-of-date.

next(err, name) is called each time an available package is found. This allows for "streaming" the possible names from the registry. If err is an Error, then there was a problem and next will not be called again. name is the available package name.

tla.checkName(name, opts, next)

Check if a specific name is available on npm.

If opts.online is true, verify that the names are actually available. Otherwise, a local package name database is used, which may be slightly out-of-date.

If opts.related is true, then this will search for related module names using a thesaurus.

next(err, name) is called each time an available package is found. This allows for "streaming" the possible names from the registry. If err is an Error, then there was a problem and next will not be called again. name is the available package name.
