Add package to NPM

[gajus]

To install regular Handsontable version run npm install handsontable and for PRO it is npm install git+ssh://git@git.handsontable.com:handsontable/handsontable-pro.git.

Added support for node environment

Continuing the discussion from Handsontable and bundler for javascript: From the release note of v1.3.3. There is 'Added support for node environment'. Can someone please tell me a bit more detail about this? Does it mean I can install through npm (though it is still not an option in the install guide) . Or dose it mean I can use something like require('handsontable') in my code? I am using browserify for my web APPs. Hope the release will make life easier. In linked topic there is an esti…

This setup does not work. It assumes that all development environments have SSH key required to access the package. It makes extremely difficult to integrate the package in the CI and make it available to every developer working with the project.

Hi @gajus

your’re right, taking into account that there are hundreds copies of Handsontable Pro on GitHub, there’s probably no point in keeping the code private on our side. Thanks for your feedback, that actually only reinforces our skeptical thoughts about the current process of downloading and installing the commercial version.

Would you like to discuss it further with us? Should we keep the MIT version and commercial one (both published on GH) or maybe merge them into one package and release under some free for non-commercial license (no more MIT version)? What do you think would fit your needs best?
