downpop

Just a simple way to get a glance at raw download counts for npm packages.

Usage

Via npx

npx downpop <package1> <package2> ... <packageN>

To make sure you are using the latest version you can also do:

npx downpop@latest <package1> <package2> ... <packageN>

Via code

1. Install the package using npm or otherwise:

   npm install downpop
   

2. Import and use in your code:

   1import { buildNpmPackageInfoCharts } from 'downpop';
   2
   3buildNpmPackageInfoCharts([
   4    'jquery',
   5    'react',
   6    'vue'
   7])
   8.then(packageInfoChartsResult => console.log(packageInfoChartsResult.charts['last-month']));

Notes

• If you have Node.js installed, you will in turn have npm installed and thus npx should be available for you to use as well.
