Npm user packages scrapper

Small utility that scraps the packages of certain npm user. This means, packages publicly available created by the target user. It was built specifically as a helper library for my port-folio. Funnily it scraps itself as part of the portfolio generation.

The scrapped information includes

• badges (if any)
• package name
• package specific url
• package description (basically all readme paragraphs)

Usage

It only exports one function, that accepts an npm username as first parameter. The second optional parameter is a destination file where the scrapped information will be saved as a JSON file.

The function returns a promise that fulfills when scrap completes, with one of the following results:

• If a destination parameter was provided, then the promise fulfills to the result of file saving.
• If a destination parameter was not provided then the promise fulfills to an array of packages information.
