The library cannot be minified and used in the browser

[jdrew1303]

The use of pkginfo is preventing the api from being used by applications that run in the browser. A simple way of fixing this it to require the package.json directly and using that to pull info from. Then when browserify or webpack encounter the require they will import it as expected.

For more info on why Im using it in the browser: Im using it in a Chrome Extension to allow a user to post github issues to Upwork as a job:

I'm trying to avoid the use of a server if at all possible (I don't want to store credentials for Upwork as it links to peoples credit cards/ bank accounts, etc). I'd also prefer to use an official client library rather than my own home rolled one (usually have better support for newer apis, etc).

The other alternative is that I make the modifications necessary to support this and issue a pull request if you're ok with that?

the library was developed as a backend one

Hi there, pkginfo is also crashing our backend build with webpack.
Webpack does not pack the node-upwork/package.json inside the backend bundle and then pckinfo will throw the error "Could not find package.json".
You could just require the package.json in your code and get the version attribute from it without using pkginfo.

const packageJson = require('./package.json')
const version = packageJson.version

We will take a closer look when it's possible. There is no ETA for this.

@giorgio-zamparelli its easier to just fork it, make your changes and publish your own version. 👍 Thats what I did, works like a charm.

Fixed in v1.3.2
