My first weekend fun project - meteor package search for alfred

sasikanth123 · November 11, 2018, 2:21pm

Hi All,

I recently bought alfred powerpack(for those who knows it) and then found out that there is no good package search for alfred so I built one.

How am I doing it?

i’m downloading all packages basic info from meteor server using it’s websocket connection. you can find the source on how i’m pulling all the package info here https://github.com/sasikanth513/alfred-meteor-packages/blob/master/src/packages.js
code is open sourced here

How to install

You can download alfred-meteor-packages.alfredworkflow file from the above link
You can install npm package using
npm install --global alfred-meteor-packages

How to use

Type mp and the package name to search for packages

return - to copy meteor add package-name to clipboard
cmd + return to redirect to github page. if github url is not found then we redirect to atmosphere page

====================

This is my first open source project. Let me know your thoughts.

Any feedback/pull-requests are welcome.

PS: Star my github repo, if you like the project.

Here is a GIF of how it works

Looks great! This might be reason enough for me to start using Alfred. +1 for redirecting first to Github, secondary to Atmosphere
