Please publish AngularJS as an NPM module

[dankohn]

It just takes a few minutes to publish an npm module of the existing AngularJS project, but it would accomplish the following:

• Enable deployment from the standard infrastructure being used for both server and client Javascript code
• Enable browserify users like me to package up client side libraries I fetch with npm (though in production, I reference a copy on the CDN)
• Find new Angular releases using npm outdated.
• Jump ahead of jQuery, which is in the process of taking over the npm management of their library: Publish the updates to NPM & Setup Travis HorseAJ86/node-jquery#56

The npm name angularjs remains available. I recommend mapping it to git://github.com/angular/angular.js.git#v1.0.x and perhaps also creating an angularjs-unstable which pulls from master.

Thanks!

Or use napa. Works well for me:
npm i napa --save-dev

and add to package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "install": "napa angular/bower-angular:angular"
  }
}

The name angularjs, defined in the package.json, has been taken on npm by this module: https://github.com/eugeneware/angularjs

• @eugeneware, would it be possible to change the name of your module, since it could be mistaken for the official Angular project?
• AngularJS people, would it be possible to publish Angular on npm?

The intention was to have a browserify friendly way to include angularjs, so very happy to give up the name for an officially supported version.

In the meantime you can use https://npmjs.org/package/angular. It allows you to use Angular from both Browserify and Node directly.
