This package certainly seems like satire. It has no actual implementation in it. Instead it depends on another npm package: `is-odd`. https://github.com/i-vote

  `is-odd` is made by the same developer. This was created to inflate NPM numbers.

    This is what I like about ruby. I search, I find, they have almost no downloads: https://rubygems.org/gems/is_odd/versions/0.1.1 https://rubygems.org/gems/is_odd/versions/0.1.1 https://rubygems.org/gems/is_even/versions/0.1.0 https://rubygems.org/gems/is_even/versions/0.1.0

      It is built into Ruby. 2.7.3 :003 > 1.odd? => true 2.7.3 :004 > 2.odd? => false 2.7.3 :005 > 1.even? => false 2.7.3 :006 > 2.even? => true 2.7.3 :007 >

        That's amazing. Do you know since when? I've been doing Python development for a while.
        • rezonant 5y ago
          At least since 1.8.7 (released May 31, 2008) EDIT: Confirmed, it was added in 1.8.7 according to Ruby Docs [1] [2] [1] https://ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.7/Integer.html https://ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.7/Integer.html (present) [2] https://ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.6/Integer.html https://ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.6/Integer.html (not present)

  The “Usage” section in the readme doesn’t even give you any information about how it behaves on inputs that aren’t numbers. I hope the is-odd package has some way of detecting whether the input is a number or not. Maybe other packages need this too! isEven(0); //=> true isEven('1'); //=> false isEven(2); //=> true isEven('3'); //=> false

    It throws an error on empty or non-integer values: https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump/is-even/blob/master/test.js#L29 https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump/is-even/blob/master/tes...

    You use the is-number package to check if something is a number. JavaScript packages do one thing and do it well.

  Hilarious GH name, and apparently masterful troll.

    Seems to me that the name is satire. As in, the author didn't actually vote for trump but wants to make it look like people that voted for him are creating packages like that. I don't think such packages should be on NPM either way.
    • op00to 5y ago
      The author is an antivaxer and based on that it is a fair shake that he voted for Trump.
    • kej 5y ago
      His twitter feed is full of right wing talking points and he broke a 19 year voting hiatus to vote in the 2020 general election, so I don't think it's that unreasonable to think he did, in fact, vote for Trump.

        This is the user: https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump This is what it says there: > This is a joke. You'll only see this org if you are attempting to troll me about repositories I created when I was learning to program.

          This is his twitter https://mobile.twitter.com/jonschlinkert https://mobile.twitter.com/jonschlinkert He definitely voted for trump.
• madacol 5y ago
  He probably moved that repo away from his profile (https://github.com/jonschlinkert https://github.com/jonschlinkert) to avoid being trolled
