Social engineering campaign targeting tech employees spreads through NPM malware
More important than the namespace is who published the package. I'm more inclined to trust an individual I know who takes security than a namespace that may change hands.
NPM exposes that info in the _npmUser field: https://github.com/npm/registry/blob/master/docs/REGISTRY-AP.... That gives "name" (NPM username) and email.
While there are thousands of packages, I bet there's a much smaller number of publishers to worry about.

My first instinct was to work with the public API of the npm registry. This sounds like a very good idea, but you will soon run into a set of problems (cache, private registry etc..).

Next.js, Material UI, MongoDB Personal Dashboard
There is no need to obtain an API key or token for querying NPM registry API. For the dashboard, I use only the endpoint that provides the data about a package downloads count - https://api.npmjs.org/downloads/. You can read more about it here.

Exploring the npm registry API

info on XDG: [the XDG spec](https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-...)
tools that respect XDG, for fellow JS CLI developers:
- https://github.com/davidtheclark/cosmiconfig Find and load configuration from a package.json property, rc file, or CommonJS module. [Check `searchPaths` to implement XDG spec compliance.](https://github.com/davidtheclark/cosmiconfig/issues/152)
- Sindre's libraries use [`env-paths`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/env-paths#pathsconfig) to get paths compliant with this.
- https://github.com/sindresorhus/conf simple config storing (maybe try [conf-cli](https://github.com/natzcam/conf-cli) to manipulate if needed) the successor to [configstore](https://github.com/sindresorhus/conf#how-is-this-different-f...)

Building a CLI tool using node - An Ultimate Beginners guide 🚀
Now, we implement history feature through which we can view the lastly created password through the -h or --history flag. For this purpose we use conf package.

We will slice it to remove the first two indexes of it to get relevant data only.
