can-haz-package

Check if an npm package name is valid and does not currently exist.

uses validate-npm-package-name to check naming rules and uses npm view (via shelljs) to check if the package exists.

The return values are set up to conform to inquirer's validate function expectations.

Because of the reliance on shelljs and npm, this package will not work in the browser, sorry!
