@dsh-pm/registry

The discovery engine of dsh pm — find dsh plugins by merging three independent sources into one deduped, sorted, offline-tolerant registry:

1. awesome-list — the awesome-dsh-plugin README, parsed under its category headings (config awesomeUrl).
2. GitHub topic — repo search for the dsh-plugin topic via the gh CLI, with a plain api.github.com https fallback.
3. npm keyword — npm search --json <keyword> (config npmKeyword, default dsh), with a registry /-/v1/search https fallback.

A GitHub hit and an npm hit for the same project collapse into one RegistryEntry carrying both repoUrl and npmName; entries dedupe by normalized repo URL first, then by bare name. Every source degrades independently — a dead source contributes fewer (or cached) entries and a warning, never a rejection. Offline, the client serves whatever the local cache last recorded per source.

This package implements the frozen RegistryClient contract from @dsh-pm/core (spec §5.1) and exports exactly the §5.2 surface: createRegistryClient and a one-shot search convenience.

Install

Workspace package of the dsh-plugin-manager monorepo; consumed through @dsh-pm/core (workspace dep). The product that wires it into DSH is the plugin manager CLI:

dsh plugin add github:Jesse-njx/dsh-plugin-manager

Usage

import { createRegistryClient, search } from '@dsh-pm/registry'
import type { PmConfig } from '@dsh-pm/core'

const cfg: PmConfig['registry'] = {
  awesomeUrl: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/awesome-dsh-plugin/awesome-dsh-plugin/main/README.md',
  npmKeyword: 'dsh',
}

const client = createRegistryClient(cfg)

// Filtered, sorted: stars desc, then name.
const hits = await client.search('memory')

// Exact lookup by name, npmName, owner/repo, github:owner/repo or https URL.
const entry = await client.resolve('Jesse-njx/dsh-memory')

// Update-check version: npm dist-tag `latest`, else GitHub default-branch HEAD sha.
const version = await client.latestVersion(entry ?? hits[0]!)

// Warnings of the last run (documented extra beyond the frozen interface):
console.log(client.lastWarnings) // e.g. ["github: 'gh' CLI not found; results from https search"]

// One-shot convenience (spec §5.2):
const all = await search('', cfg)

Result shape

search/resolve return RegistryEntry from @dsh-pm/core:

{
  name: string            // canonical bare name
  repoUrl?: string        // normalized https repo URL (dedupe key #1)
  npmName?: string        // npm package name when published
  description: string
  category: string        // awesome-list heading, or ''
  stars?: number          // GitHub stars when known
  updatedAt?: string      // ISO 8601 of last repo push when known
  source: ('github' | 'npm')[]  // which discovery sources contributed
}

The three sources

• Dedupe — normalized repo URL first (git+https://…, git@github.com:…, trailing .git all collapse to https://github.com/owner/repo), then bare name. Distinct repos that merely share a bare name stay separate. Merged metadata is unioned and source accumulates distinct contributors.
• Sorting — stars ?? 0 descending, name ascending as tiebreak.
• Warnings — at most one per degraded source (awesome: …, github: …, npm: …), e.g. github: 'gh api' failed (exit 1); results from https search. An unparseable awesome row increments a single awesome: skipped N row(s) warning — the parser never throws.

Offline behavior

Every source tries its primary path, then its https fallback, then its local cache, then degrades to zero entries with one warning. Caches are JSON files written atomically (temp + rename) under:

• $DSH_PM_CACHE_DIR if set, else
• $XDG_CACHE_HOME/dsh-pm, else
• ~/.cache/dsh-pm

Cache writes are best-effort: a failed write is swallowed, never fatal. The default npm runner also gets its own writable cache (<cacheDir>/npm-cache) so a broken global ~/.npm cache cannot take down the primary npm path.

Development

pnpm install            # from the monorepo root (requires packages/core to exist)
pnpm --filter @dsh-pm/registry test        # node --test, 43 tests
pnpm --filter @dsh-pm/registry typecheck
pnpm --filter @dsh-pm/registry build       # tsc → lib/

Tests never hit the network except test/live.test.ts, which skips when offline (network guard, mirroring the suite convention). The merge/dedupe matrix, parser goldens (fixture README committed in test/fixtures/) and every degrade path run against injected fakes (test/helpers.ts).

dev/core/ is a build-time-only stub. registry imports types from @dsh-pm/core (workspace dep) using import type only — erased at runtime. Because Session 1's core had not landed when this package was built, the frozen §5.1 contract is transcribed verbatim into dev/core/index.d.ts, referenced only through the paths mapping in tsconfig.json, never emitted into lib/, and never imported at runtime. Delete dev/ the moment the real core links — the coordinator can diff the stub against the landed types to catch any drift.
