Repository navigation
package.json file is invalid #46
Description
Per http://package-json-validator.com/
I'm seeing the following error when trying to validate the JSONSelect/package.json file:
{
"valid": false,
"errors": [
"Value for field name, JSONSelect does not match format: /^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9\\.\\-_]+$/"
],
"warnings": [
"Missing recommended field: keywords",
"Missing recommended field: bugs",
"Missing recommended field: licenses"
],
"recommendations": [
"Missing optional field: contributors",
"Missing optional field: files",
"Missing optional field: bin",
"Missing optional field: man",
"Missing optional field: directories",
"Missing optional field: config",
"Missing optional field: bundledDependencies",
"Missing optional field: optionalDependencies",
"Missing optional field: engineStrict",
"Missing optional field: os",
"Missing optional field: cpu",
"Missing optional field: preferGlobal",
"Missing optional field: private",
"Missing optional field: publishConfig"
]
}I looked into it, and it appears that that package names should be lowercased (as of npm 1.3) [1]. It looks like Isaac is considering relaxing that restriction, but thought I'd post this as a placeholder issue in case we wanted to consider changing this to jsonselect in the future.
