People building Node.js apps commonly use npm as the place they get packages they depend on. Not being able to get the files needed for InterSystems IRIS Native API for Node.js from there adds friction which probably results in some lost opportunities to get our technology used more widely.
Thank you for submitting the idea. The status has been changed to "planned".
This is not a commitment; plans are subject to change. Stay tuned!
You can use our mg-dbx-napi interface instead. It's already on NPM and, as a bonus, orders of magnitude faster than the native API:

Packaged with a TypeScript declaration file, not just source decorators please.
