Package Manager

This package is a web-compatible package manager built with tsserverlib
compatibility in mind. It does not require a "real" filesystem or a "real" NPM
installation, but instead uses orogene
to perform package management operations.

It is largely a thin wrapper around Orogene's node-maintainer WASM
API.

Updating vendored node-maintainer

Currently, this package vendors a prebuilt version of node-maintainer into
the ./node-maintainer directory. This has to be manually built and updated
as needed whenever there are desired changes from orogene.

To update the directory:

1. rm -rf ./node-maintainer
2. clone https://github.com/orogene/orogene somewhere. See the contributing
instructions
for a guide on how to set up and build wasm modules.
3. mv /path/to/orogene/crates/node-maintainer/pkg ./node-maintainer
4. git add node-maintainer && git commit -m 'updated node-maintainer'

A Note on Build Requirements

To get this branch working, as of today (4/7/2023), you need to use a
TypeScript release that includes this
commit,
which has been merged into main, but not released yet.

In order to use an unreleased TypeScript with VS Code:

1. At the ../.. (vscode/extensions/) level, you should npm link the
version of typescript you want.
1. Go to your typescript source checkout
2. Call npm link
3. Go to vscode/extensions
4. Call npm link typescript`
