Question: downloading manifest

[FredrikMWold]

Hey!

I’ve got a version of jsrepo-tui working that can actually download blocks now.
https://github.com/FredrikMWold/jsrepo-tui (if you're not a fan of the name, i'm happy to change it)

One thing I’ve been thinking about: would you consider adding a CLI command that just fetches the manifest and outputs it?

The idea is to make it easier for users who want to use private registries. Right now, they’d have to authenticate in both the CLI and the TUI. If the TUI could just call the CLI to get the manifest (with auth handled there), it’d simplify things a lot.

I don't think so...

Right now this functionality is available externally by using the JS api.

You can port the functions from the JS api over to go and that may work for you.

Alternatively you can try and fetch from https://jsrepo.dev/api/registries if you use the with_data url param set to true and it will return the manifest and readme (if it exists). The downside to this being that it is pretty slow depending on how big the readme/manifest is.

Heres an example of the endpoint:

https://jsrepo.dev/api/registries?with_data=true&limit=1&query=github/ieedan/std

This route can be updated but there are some limitations to how much can change since there is now a Raycast extension that depends on it.

Also FYI I wasn't able to run the cli with the instructions in the README. I just did a fresh install of go (new computer didn't have it yet) and then ran install but it just comes up as command not found...

I haven't tried just downloading the binary yet.

If you got an error after running go install github.com/fredrikmwold/jsrepo-tui@latest
Then the issue is most likely that you don't have /go/bin/ in your PATH
