I was searching whether @vue/cli was packaged. It is, but it does not show up when searching for it: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&query=%40vue%2Fcli

Nix apparently intentionally rejects "bad" attribute names: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/b0cb11722626e906a73f10dd9a0c9eea29faf43a, https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1342#issuecomment-295241041.

You either need to convince @edolstra to change this, or the node maintainers to change their attribute names.

Any update on this? Just got hit by this multi-year bug.
