             Summary: Adding npm UI should preload all npm packages
                 Key: NETBEANS-1710
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1710
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: javascript - Node.js
    Affects Versions: Next
            Reporter: Christian Lenz


Due to a similar functionality, that NetBeans scans for maven repositories and you can see all available maven dependencies, it should be possible to preload all npm packages from npmjs.com before I open the adding NPM UI. When I open this dialog, all packages should be available as list. Depends on what information you can get but name can be enough for the whole list.

After you click on a package, you can make a new request to get the information. Descripion. latest version, all other versions, stars, etc.

This makes the UI more intuitive on searching while typing. Now I have to search for "ang", hitting search and waiting seconds to find the package that I want.

WebStorm makes the better UI for this. It preloads all and it seems so, that they really mean all NPM packages (mostly only the name) and you can filter (not search) for a package which makes it more nicely. No entering, no waiting, no entering and waiting again, if you make a typo.

So this behaviour makes much more sense and less frustrating while searching.
