Manage npm dependencies through a modern UI.

Luna - npm management through a modern UI. Built with Electron 🌺

npm desktop manager for handling npm dependencies. Supported platforms: OS X Windows and Linux.

---

Motivation

Luna was created with main purpose to provide a flexible and modern UI for npm dependencies management. You can install, update and uninstall packages using a user interface build on latest web technologies.

Features

• Manage global and local packages
• Search for new packages
• Install packages
• Update packages
• Uninstall packages
• Filter packages by name, group and outdated
• Preview package details (versions, statistics, dependencies and more)
• Get notifications for missing dependencies or extraneous packages

Screenshots

How it works

The Renderer Process architecture:

• Action (Event) driven nature
• The IO Management, Business Logic Management and Predictable Application State Management processors (middlewares) are subscribers of the application action stream.
• The IO Management and Business Logic Management are consumers and producers of actions.
• The Predictable State Management is just a consumer of actions
• The views are listeners of the predictable state and they are re rendered whenever the predictable state changes and they produce actions upon the user interaction (clicks)

Usage

Install application's dependencies:

npm install

Start the application

npm start

Start the development server and run the application in development mode:

npm run dev

Binaries

All binaries of the latest version are uploaded to the releases

luna's Issues

Update package actions correctly when searching packages

[Feature Suggestion] Cache the data of packages already viewed

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

The data of packages already viewed can be cached, so the user can view it while the data is being updated.

Specifications like operating system, or hardware

Windows 10 x64

Luna 2.1.0

No REMOVE command in Luna

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

• I wanted to remove a package from the local npm repository
• I expected to find a remove action ... Somewhere

Actual behaviour.

• No Action was found.
• If there is a menu or action some place, it is very well disguised

Steps to reproduce the problem.

• Install some package.
• Example: min database (quite small)
• Select that package.
• Try to remove it

Workaround

• Go to cmd window (command line shell)

  npm remove min   
rem   OR ...
  npm remove min -g

• `min' was installed as global

Specifications like operating system, or hardware

Windows 10 64-bit

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

The Show Globals button should always show to the list of global packages.

However, after viewing a package that was searched for, the Show Globals button doesn't do anything.

Steps to reproduce the problem.

1. Search for a package, and click one of the results to view it.
2. Click the Show Globals button. Nothing will happen.

Weird little bug installing dependencies on windows

Probably nothing to be concerned about, but after
git clone & npm i, running npm run dev resulted in "'cross-env' is not recognized as an internal or external command", even though package.json listed it and I assume it was installed with all the rest. After checking out what it is and running npm install --save-dev cross-env as a first aid, everything works although there are some unrelated errors in console.
I have no idea what the "npm ERR! code EBADPLATFORM" is and is it related, but the whole thing works beautifully and looks nice.
Also I'm a ittle flabbergasted by the 1740(!) packages cross-env updated.

Luna not full responsive ?

Hello, I really appreciate your work! This application saves a lot of time, thank you.
I use your application on my two PCs (one fixed and one laptop). I have no problem on my desktop PC with 1920x1080 screen.

On the other hand, I have a problem with your application: using it from my laptop that displays 1366x768. The problem is that I'm missing the right part of the application in order to update or uninstall a module. So I ask myself the question of the responsive of your application? (Screenshot below)

Why no macOS support?

[Feature Suggestion] Add clickable links

There is a lot of data that could be made into links:

• Under Github stats, the dependencies could be links to open that package in Luna.
• Under Github stats, the Dist Tags could be links to preview that version.
• The usernames, emails, and URLs under Details, Maintainers, and Contributors.
• The license.

Fix bug in packages parsing when one package is installed

Remove Numix Branding

At first I thought it was just a coincidence that the logo looked similar to the Numix Project one but after downloading the file to check it would seem that they're identical binaries. While we do release a GPL version of our logo for use in icon themes, the version you've used isn't licensed as such and so your software as is is in violation of the GPL. Aside from that it's just confusing branding wise; it implies affiliation between the two when this isn't the case.

Please remove all Numix branding from your software. If you want help drafting up a new icon I'm more than happy to help out, but as is it's not really fair (nor strictly speaking legal) to take our logo and put it on your software.

Please provide an AppImage for Linux on GitHub Releases

luna/package.json

Line 54 in b31568a

"target": ["deb", "AppImage"]

Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:

• Applications packaged as an AppImage can run on many distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others)
• One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one AppImage file, make it executable, and run
• No unpacking or installation necessary
• No root needed
• No system libraries changed
• Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed
• Optional desktop integration with appimaged
• Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate
• Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)
• Works on Live ISOs
• Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions
• Can be listed in the AppImageHub central directory of available AppImages
• Can double as a self-extracting compressed archive with the --appimage-extract parameter

Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.

If you have questions, AppImage developers are on #AppImage on irc.freenode.net.

When removing a package, all packages are reloaded

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

Actual: When I click the check box next to a global npm package and click the trash can to get rid of it, Luna reloads the entire list of packages. I currently have 98 packages, and want to clear some of them out, and reloading every time I remove one slows down this process considerably.

Expected: Luna can / should optimistically remove the package from its list and reload the list from disk in the background.
