javascript - Getting package description from NPM via browser -


i'm trying write chrome web app read information npm. chrome obeys access-control-allow-origin flags on websites, causing me problems.

while can read following url:

http://registry.npmjs.org/simple-js/-/simple-js-0.1.5.tgz

because has access-control-allow-origin: * in headers, can't load url:

http://registry.npmjs.org/simple-js

which 1 need find out latest version (and hence find out above url).

any ideas? there url access in order find same data?

note: app read package info npm. don't want precompile npm packages it.

with chrome web apps, can set manifest file ignore same-origin policy. can see document: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/xhr

that easiest solution can think of. alternatively, may download tgz file , decompress on client, or can create proxy retrieve json file (a web page downloads file , sends client appropriate headers).
