Dependency issues in the quickstart documentation

[Stevetec-exe]

The Quickstart guide for external tasks (https://docs.operaton.org/docs/get-started/quick-start/service-task) contains a JavaScript dependency for operaton-external-task-client-js which is a package that does not currently exist on npm. There is a package called camunda-external-task-client that seems to be the one intended here given that Operaton is a Camunda fork and it provides the same exports.

Either the package needs to be forked to make the install work under the given name or the code needs to be refactored to reference the externally provided package.

I'm not qualified to suggest either as better or may not see all options. In my opinion it sadly makes an avoidable bad first impression if the first real code example already has dependency issues.

Thank you for reporting this. I will discuss how to proceed with the team.

You are right, the package does not exist yet and the error comes from the renaming. Our focus was so far on the engine and its ecosystem with stabilization, modernization, test & releases. But for sure, the documentation is also important. We will continue to improve the documentation.
