static project: The repository is missing a package.json file.

[charlesVeneau]

Hello
I've got a 'The repository is missing a package.json file' error.

It's a static project so there is no package.json. Is there a way to open it on stackblitz?

thank you

Hello @charlesVeneau. Thanks for the report!

At this time we are not planning to add support for importing repositories or sub-folders of repositories without a package.json. We're using package.json to help determine the dependencies to be installed.

We could treat a repository or folder without a package.json as a fully static project, but chances are that more often than not it would be a false negative (for example a monorepo setup where the relevant package.json is in a subfolder but the user providing the import URL did not specify a subfolder). So adding a rule of “no package.json = static project” is likely to create more problems than it would solve.

We might revisit this question if there is more demand for this feature, so comments on this issue are always welcome.
