Failed to load package

I have developed simple snippet package https://github.com/p10ns11y/atom-react-intl-snippets

Could anyone tell me where if something I am missing ?

if I just paste this in Atom snippets directly, snippets working fine. If I install the package it seems working also. But I get the following message when I open atom and after installing

Unexpected token :

You list main here:

github.com

p10ns11y/atom-react-intl-snippets/blob/master/package.json#L15


"engines": {
  "atom": ">=1.0.0 <2.0.0"
},
"keywords": [
  "react",
  "react-intl",
  "ES6",
  "babel",
  "snippets"
],
"main": "./snippets",
"repository": {
  "url": "https://github.com/p10ns11y/atom-react-intl-snippets",
  "type": "git"
},
"bugs": {
  "url": "https://github.com/p10ns11y/atom-react-intl-snippets/issues"
},
"author": "Peramanathan Sathyamoorthy",
"license": "MIT"
}

The main attribute in your package.json is for launching the main code module of your package. Since your package offers only snippets and no code, you shouldn’t have a main attribute in your package.json.

@leedohm: Thanks a lot! I earlier had pull path "main": "./snippets/react-intl.cson" and that caused a problem. After I removed react-intl.cson the problem has gone. Yes it make sense not to have main I will remove it.
