Configuration

All configuration is centralized in lib/config.ts. Modify this file to customize:

Application Settings

  version: '1.0.0',               // Version number
}

API Configuration

api: {
  registrySearch: 'https://...',  // npm registry search endpoint
  registryPackage: 'https://...',  // npm package info endpoint
  downloadsApi: 'https://...',     // npm downloads API endpoint
  maxPackages: 250,                // Max packages to fetch
  allTimeStartDate: '2010-01-01',  // Start date for all-time stats
}

UI Configuration

ui: {
  defaultTimeRange: '30',          // Default chart time range
  timeRanges: [...],               // Available time ranges
  maxComparisonPackages: 8,        // Max packages in comparison chart
}

Feature Flags

Enable/disable features easily:

export const themes = {
  light: {
    bg: { primary: '#ffffff', ... },

  --text-primary: #f5f5f5;
  --accent-primary: #ef4444;
  /* ... */
}

Fetch User Packages

const packages = await fetchUserPackages('username');

Supports:

• Username search: sindresorhus

getToday()                    // Today's ISO date

// Package utilities
getShortPackageName('@scope/pkg') // "pkg"
isPackageName('scope/pkg')        // true
cleanUsername('@user')            // "user"

// Math utilities
sum([1, 2, 3])                // 6
