A web application that ranks and tracks the most popular npm packages based on downloads, fastest-growing trends, and the number of dependents.

• Sort npm packages by:
  • 📈 Most Downloaded (Total downloads)
  • 🚀 Trending (Average weekly percentage growth)
  • 🔗 Most Dependents (Repos that rely on it)
• Filter by dependencies: Search for packages that depend on a specific package (e.g., react).
• Dark Mode by Default 🌙
• Fast and lightweight: Built with Next.js and MongoDB.

Our application uses an automated data collection pipeline to keep the leaderboard current. Every week, a scheduled GitHub Action triggers a series of scripts that:

• Fetch the latest package metadata from the npm registry and ecosyste.ms.
• Collect download statistics, including weekly trends and total downloads.
• Process the top 20,000 most popular packages to generate the rankings.
• Update package details in our MongoDB database, ensuring that the leaderboard reflects the most recent data.

This weekly sync ensures that the leaderboard remains accurate and up-to-date without manual intervention.

• Node.js (>=16.x)
• MongoDB (running locally or via cloud like MongoDB Atlas)
