Add CDN link

[LukasDrgon]

I added a jsDelivr CDN link to your readme, so that people can use it directly without bower or component. jsDelivr is the fastest open-source CDN and updates automatically from npm.

I also added dist folder to npm so that this continues to work after v1.0.0 is released.

This is a nice idea, but would increase the package size for every user by the web3.min.js file. So we would need to find a better way to link to the dist files.
This also needs the link to be updated on every release.

So better link to: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethereum/web3.js/develop/dist/web3.min.js

@frozeman if you don't want to add dist/ to npm, this could be updated to use GitHub instead: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ethereum/[email protected]/dist/web3.min.js, or https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ethereum/web3.js/dist/web3.min.js if you want it to be updated automatically.

That said, I think it's a good practice to ship the dist directory in the npm package.

[frozeman]

But shipping it in NPM grows it by a lot, i would prefer getting it from GitHub. Same for 1.0.
For this link https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ethereum/web3.js/dist/web3.min.js it uses the default branch (develop)?
Better would be here to point to the branch like master here.

[MartinKolarik]

It uses the latest release: https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/releases

[frozeman]

That would be 1.0 version, not 0.20.x

[MartinKolarik]

Actually it's 0.19 right now because beta releases are not considered when selecting the latest version: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ethereum/web3.js/

[frozeman]

And why not 0.20.6? Btw you want to adjust your PR?

[MartinKolarik]

There isn't a 0.20.6 release on GitHub as far as I can see.

[frozeman]

Youre right i never created a release for that one. Will do.
