How can I create a catalogue from verdaccio 5?

[AllanOricil]

I want to create a JSON with all packages that are currently stored in my verdaccio storage. I was able to do it in Verdaccio 4 because there is a route /-/all but in 5 this route was removed. So how can I fetch a list of all package that are locale stored and managed by Verdaccio 5?

The endpoint all was meant for search but was removed time ago since npmjs also deprecated, thus I don't expect anything similar to have again.

@juanpicado is there a plugin ? If not, could you help me with the initial steps to implement one that can read the database, create the catalogue in a given format, and expose it in a given route?

I'm thinking I'm going to have to create a middleware plugin. How can I get the list of packages stored in verdaccio using the storage object? Could not find it.

I think I know how to do it. I need to use

storage.getLocalDatabase() right?

[jchown]

@AllanOricil did you manage to do this?

@jchown I did not have time yet. If you know how to try my suggestion, could you do it and share your results here? Thanks
