dist/quagga.min.js file gone

[Roko131]

Hi, I would like to use this project using the script tag as written in readme but the dist/quagga.min.js file is missing.

I am not familiar with NPM.

Maybe you have an updated version of the quagga.min.js I could use?

Thanks for continuing this project!

Hello there! It doesn't really make sense to have the distribution files in the source repository, as npm is the preferred way of installing a working version, and having the distribution files in source makes for really cluttered change views.

Assuming you have node installed, you should be able to do npm install @ericblade/quagga2 from your application.. that section of the README might need a bit of an update, though. . . If you'd like to generate the files yourself from the repo, you can run npm run build which will generate the packages as well.

Either way should work, though I think we probably need to do some changes to README with regards to how to get it to work correctly in a modern browser using npm install . . . all of my projects are using webpack and such to install modules.. so .. yeah.. maybe some changes are needed.

I just ran a quick check after doing npm install @ericblade/quagga2

<script src="./node_modules/@ericblade/quagga2/dist/quagga.min.js"></script>
correctly loads quagga into global space as Quagga

of course you'd still need to include that file with whatever you're serving

Thanks! learned something new.

[ericblade]

how did you resolve?

[Roko131]

As you suggested:
npm install @ericblade/quagga2- which created ./node_modules/@ericblade/quagga2/dist/quagga.min.js which I then copied to my project.

I only use the quagga.min.js in my project- none of the other files created by npm install @ericblade/quagga2
btw I don't use webpack- I use the asset pipeline

cool :) you could do the same with a copy of the repo and npm run build
