Hey @Simek we wanted to launch Snap's official RN library on directory. Github cannot be public yet could it link to the NPM package

Hello guys, unfortunately we do not have a support for closed-source packages at this moment.

The GitHub repo and data extracted from the GitHub API about the repo and package are essential for getting metadata, scoring entry and it is a source of most of data which is displayed at the end.

Thanks @Simek there is a plan to open source it at some point. Will leave it to @ramanpreetSinghKhinda to update this addition when Snap gets it open sourced

Thanks @Simek and @safaiyeh . We can update this after open sourcing but can we still have this pushed with the npm repo only?

[Simek]

can we still have this pushed with the npm repo only?

@ramanpreetSinghKhinda Unfortunately no, as you can see it breaks the validation and it would break the data fetch and the deploy.

There is no way around, besides refactoring a bunch of code and changing scoring methods to accommodate the lack of essential so far data.

@Simek so will a private Github repo link work? If not, we can update this PR once we open source.

It will only work if you provide ACCESS_TOKEN for the scrapper, but ATM there is no such feature on the scrapper side and generally we would like to stick only to the open source projects.

Feel free to update the PR when the library will be open sourced and re-request the review. 🙂
