I'm encountering a problem which gives me headache for hours already. I am working on a mobile app which I am developing in a nativescript environment. As my app needs to decode JSON Web Tokens for login purposes I tried to install the npm jsonwebtoken-package, which seems not to be compatible with nativescript. After some google I found the 'nativescript-nodeify'-plugin which I installed via
tns plugin add nativescript-nodeify
After that everything seemed to work fine but later on I tried to install another package, which gave me the following error:
npm ERR! code EINVALIDPACKAGENAME
npm ERR! Invalid package name "nativescript-nodeify/node_modules/string_decoder": name can only contain URL-friendly characters

I tried to uninstall nativescript-nodeify via
tns plugin remove nativescript-nodeify
which seems also to use the npm-command and fails:
Command failed: npm uninstall nativescript-nodeify --save
npm ERR! code EINVALIDPACKAGENAME
npm ERR! Invalid package name "util/util.js": name can only contain URL-friendly characters

I went back a few commits (before I installed nodeify) and the npm install command works as expected.
As I need these packages in my project, it would be awesome if somebody has got a solution to get nativescript-nodeify working properly or an alternative to it.
Thank you in advance ;)
