Radoslaw Gruchalski commented on THRIFT-2940: --------------------------------------------- I understand your concern, totally. Unfortunately there's no other way to enable such functionality. It would be awesome if npm allowed installation from subfolder but I don't think this is kinda allowed by git, no way to check out a subtree. Hence the file in the top directory. > Allow installing thirft from git as NPM module by providing package.json in > top level directory > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-2940 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2940 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Node.js - Library > Reporter: Radoslaw Gruchalski > > Allow installing thirft from git as NPM module by providing package.json in > top level directory.
