Docs don't include an example importmap pin for blacklight-range-limit, only its dependencies.

Currently, the README gives example pins for blacklight-range-limit's dependencies, but not for blacklight-range-limit itself. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but for people coming into the project new (or even who just haven't interacted with Rails for a while), this leaves them with a gap in information that makes installation difficult.

Thanks for getting in touch.

I don't use importmap-rails myself, so may not have totally understood it, and it's been a while since i wrote those directions, so don't remember what i was thinking or how the importmap-install process works.

Trying to remember, I think if you are using importmap-rails, you have access to blacklight-range-limit Javascript via the ruby gem dependency, you don't need to pin it, and don't really want to -- you want to use the Javascript directly from the rubygem, not from a separately installed npm package that may not match the version of your rubygem.

But i am admittedly far from experienced or expert at importmap-rails.

Have you tried installing with the installer, rails generate blacklight_range_limit:install? Did you run into any problems there, is there a reason you are prefering a manual install? Or did you not notice those instructions? I think you are a bit on your own with a manual install, and it becomes your responsibiltiy to understand the details. The installer should take care of it all, including pins, for you -- if the installer isn't working for a certain situation, we would like to know though!
