Is there any intention of ever putting the Dropbox Drop-Ins API on npm?

I'm using the Dropbox Chooser button in a very large web application. We use npm to bundle all of our dependencies, as we have 50+. It would be great if I could bundle the Chooser button with these other dependencies so I didn't have to make a separate HTTP request, but right now it looks like my only option is to copy paste the HTML script tag offered on the Chooser API page.

Has anyone resolved a similar issue? Or is there any intention of getting the Drop-Ins API on npm in the future?

    I'm not aware of any plans to do so, but I'm sending this along as a request. (As a workaround I suppose you could download the dropin.js file and include that directly, but that's probably not recommended as you won't automatically receive updates of course.)
