Will the EFB SDK be published on the NPM registry?

As the title covers, will the EFB SDK be published on the NPM registry? Or will we have to update the samples each SDK update and copy over the package?

Hello @jack

Yes, that is what we plan.
Keep an eye on the SDK release notes.

Sylvain

Is there any update on this? The updates still seem to be distributed in the SDK, and we ideally want to avoid dealing with that update process for each sim update.

Hello @jack,

This is still under going, I’m pretty confident that it’ll be ready for next update.

Fantastic, thank you!

Hello @jack

The SU1 version of the EFB API (1.0.2) has been published on the npm repository:
@microsoft/msfs-efb-api - npm

You can switch to it by changing @efb/efb-api to @microsoft/msfs-efb-api in your source files and updating your package.json.

Hi Sylvain,

Thanks! Is it possible to have beta versions (versions of the API deployed in something like a sim update) published under a beta tag on NPM?

We are experiencing some issues with our EFB app on SU2 due to a change in the temporary notification fields - the duration field was renamed in SU2.

Thanks,
Jack

We will look into it.

Hi @FlyingRaccoon,

Is it possible to get the SU2 version published on NPM now, given that it is released?

Thanks,
Jack

Hey @FlyingRaccoon,

Is there any update on this? I just checked the latest release on NPM and it was 5 months ago

Best,

Jack

Hello @jack

I am bumping the subject on a regular basis but unfortunately I don’t expect the repository to be updated in the near future.

If you witness any breaking change compared to the currently distributed version of the API, through the repository or SDK sample, please report it as a bug.

Regards,
Sylvain

Hi Sylvain,

Thank you so much for your fast reply! Great to hear that it is still being bumped internally
