What are your thoughts on supporting npm packaging?
For the shellcheck web frontend?
would love to have this for ease of integrating into a node js server
I'm not up to speed on these things. What functionality is it you're looking for in node? A function shellcheck(scripttext, options, callback) that produces an array of warnings?
Sort of. While I'm OK with a exec / subprocess model as long as binary dependencies can be handled, just like https://github.com/imagemin/pngquant-bin/tree/master/vendor
You can pack all sort of stuff into npm packages -- not just JavaScript. Shellcheck as npm package would be helpful because other npm packages could depend on it and use it to use internal scripts and stuff without requiring developers to install anything but the npm package.
Second @MoritzKn . We have a bunch of build scripts for our NPM repos that we want shellchecked. For now, we use CircleCI + the docker container to check those things. But, if we could have it earlier it would be nice.
