Missing npm packages; populate on-demand?

[ljharb]

I tried to look up dependents for npmjs.com/subargs, but the package data isn’t there, and it doesn’t seem like it’ll get automatically fetched just by me trying to view it.

What’s the workflow for ingesting a package that’s missing?

npmjs.com/subargs 404s for me, do you mean npmjs.com/subarg which is available on https://packages.ecosyste.ms/registries/npmjs.org/packages/subarg

🤦 yes thank you. is there a search on the website i could have used instead of clearly mistyping the package name in the URL?

There's no search at the moment, but given that libraries.io just made their search for logged in users only I may have to implement one soon.

Gotcha, thanks. Sorry for the typo :-)
