Unable to install new npm packages

1

The “add package” functionality doesn’t seem to be working - no packages are returned from the search. Seems like it was working earlier today, so not sure if it is related to the change to Glitch…

Thanks for pointing this out genestd, we’ll fix this asap.

In the meantime, you can still add new npm packages to package.json manually. Just add a new entry in the "dependencies" object. It might look something like this:

"dependencies": {
  "express": "^4.14.0"
},

To add, for example, the package body-parser, you can write:

"dependencies": {
  "express": "^4.14.0",
  "body-parser": "*"
},

where "*" means “the latest version”. If you want to specify the version you want (e.g.: 1.15.2) you can write:

"dependencies": {
  "express": "^4.14.0",
  "body-parser": "^1.15.2"
},

I hope this helps!
