Package Exports
- pluginclerk
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (pluginclerk) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

// Defaults to http://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry/_design/app/_view/byKeyword
registryKeywordUrl: null
})
// Fetch the latest version of a particular plugin
// Note the `installPeers` result,
// as `docpad-plugin-eco` has the peerDependency `docpad`, and no dependencies where supplied, it should be installed
clerk.fetchPlugin({name: 'docpad-plugin-eco'}, function (err, result) {
/* result will be an object like {
success: true,
message: 'Successfully fetched the latest and compatible version of the plugin docpad-plugin-eco',
skippedVersions: {},
latestVersion: '2.1.0',
installVersion: '2.1.0',
installPeers: [ 'docpad' ]
} */
})
// Fetch the latest version of a particular plugin that is compatible with the specified dependencies
// Note the `installPeers` result,
// as `docpad-plugin-eco` has the peerDependency `docpad`, and we supplied it, there is no need to install it

} */
})
// Fetch the latest version of a particular plugin that is compatible with the specified dependencies
// Note the `installVersion` and `skippedVersions` results,
// a few plugin versions where skipped because they required a `docpad` version range that our supplied `docpad` version didn't fulfill
// Note the `installPeers` result
// as `docpad-plugin-eco` has the peerDependency `docpad`, and we supplied it, there is no need to install it
clerk.fetchPlugin({name: 'docpad-plugin-eco', dependencies: {docpad: '5.0.0'}}, function (err, result) {
/* result will be an object like {
success: true,
message: 'Successfully fetched an older and compatible version of the plugin docpad-plugin-eco',

'2.1.0': { docpad: '^6.59.0' }
'2.0.0': { docpad: '^6.53.0' }
},
latestVersion: '2.1.0',
installVersion: '1.0.0',
installPeers: [] }
} */
})
// You can also fetch all plugins with some basic information
clerk.fetchPlugins({}, function (err, result) {
/* result will be an object like {
success: true,
message: 'Successfully fetched the plugins',
plugins: {
'docpad-plugin-eco': {
