FAQ & Troubleshooting
Find answers to common questions about packages, versions, CDN files and Notify Me requests.
Packages
How do I find a package?
Open the Packages page and search by package name or description. You can also filter the available packages by category.
Browse PackagesWhat information is available on a package page?
A package details page can show package information, available versions, the latest version, release information and CDN files.
Can a package have multiple versions?
Yes. A package can contain multiple versions, allowing you to choose the version required by your application.
What does Latest mean?
Latest identifies the newest version currently available for that package in PackForge.
Existing CDN references don't automatically change when a newer version becomes available.
CDN files
Do I need to build CDN URLs manually?
No. PackForge generates CDN references from the files available for each package version.
Open the package details page and copy the generated reference for the file you want to use.
How are CSS files provided?
CSS files are displayed as ready-to-use
HTML
<link>
elements.
<link href="https://cdn.packforge.ir/{file-path}" rel="stylesheet">
How are JavaScript files provided?
JavaScript files are displayed as
ready-to-use
<script>
elements.
<script src="https://cdn.packforge.ir/{file-path}"></script>
What about files that aren't CSS or JavaScript?
Other files are displayed as direct CDN URLs. You can copy the generated URL and use it where your application expects that resource.
Why does a version show no CDN files?
A package version can exist even when no CDN files are currently available for it.
The Copy button doesn't work. What can I do?
PackForge first attempts to use the browser's Clipboard API and has a fallback copy mechanism when that isn't available.
If copying still fails, manually select and copy the displayed CDN reference.
Notify Me
When should I request a package?
Submit a Package request when the package itself isn't currently available in PackForge.
If the package already exists, PackForge doesn't create another Package request.
When should I request a version?
Submit a Version request when the package already exists but the version you need isn't currently available.
If the package itself doesn't exist, submit a Package request instead.
Can I request a version that already exists?
No. PackForge checks whether the requested version already exists before creating a Version request.
What happens if someone already requested the same package or version?
PackForge reuses the existing request instead of creating another identical one.
The new user is added as a subscriber to the existing request.
Can I subscribe to the same request more than once?
No. PackForge prevents the same user or email address from subscribing to the exact same request more than once.
Do I need an account to use Notify Me?
No. Guest users can submit a request using an email address.
Signed-in users use the email associated with their PackForge account.
What statuses can a request have?
Notify Me requests can currently have the following statuses:
- Pending
- In Progress
- Available
- Notified
- Rejected
Troubleshooting
I opened a package URL and received a 404.
Package details pages use the package slug in the URL.
https://packforge.ir/packages/{slug}
If the slug doesn't match an available package, PackForge returns a Not Found response.
I can't find the version I need.
Open the package details page and review the available versions.
If the package exists but the version doesn't, use Notify Me to submit a Version request.
Learn about Notify MeWhy was my Package request rejected immediately?
One possible reason is that the package already exists in PackForge.
Search for the package and open its details page instead of requesting it again.
Why was my Version request rejected immediately?
A Version request requires an existing package and a version that isn't already available.
The request can therefore fail if the package doesn't exist or if the version already exists.
