The terms of the MIT license indicate that the license itself must be distributed with any significant portions of the code. Unfortunately, I don't see a LICENSE, LICENSE.txt, LICENSE.md nor any other source of the MIT license in your project.

Additionally, citing MIT © Shuvalov Anton isn't quite the same as saying Copyright © 2016 Shuvalov Anton, Licensed under a MIT License and the latter wording is significantly more correct.

I appreciate your work and I like that it seems that this library is being released under a MIT license, but currently it is legally ambiguous and that's potentially a hazard with using the tools. Would you be willing to add a file with the license or place the license at the top of your library?

Hello @fidian! Thank you for feedback. I'm not very familiar with licence things and prefer WTFPL licence. But if you know how it should be defined to be legal — feel free to make pull request! I will be glad to merge it!

You need to update your package.json to say WTFPL, then include a copy of the license as LICENSE, LICENSE.txt, LICENSE.md or a similar name. Currently you cite MIT, but WTFPL is great too. I'm just hoping it is a bit more explicit so I am able to use this software without the potential for license issues.
