Node Package Manager chef cookbook

Cookbook for Node Package Manager

http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/npm

##DESCRIPTION: This cookbook grown up from mdxp's nodejs::npm recipe It provides some LWRP's for simple management of node packages

##REQUIREMENTS: This cookbook depends on https://github.com/mdxp/cookbooks/tree/master/nodejs/

##ATTRIBUTES: The only attribute default['npm']['version'] specifies a version of npm should be installed.

NOTE: this cookbook will not work with npm <= 1.0.0

##USAGE: Use recipe['npm'] to install npm it self. To install some packge system-wide use

npm_package "foo@0.3.2"

or

npm_package "foo" do
  version "0.3.2"
  action :install
end 

To install some package under your project root try to:

npm_package "foo" do
  version "0.3.2"
  path "/your/project/path/goes/here"
  action :install_local
end

or

npm_package do
  path "/path/to/code"
  action :install_from_json
  user someuser # optional, defaults to root
  group somegroup # optional, defaults to root
end

To uninstall some package - obviously you can do something like

npm_package "bad_one" do
  version "0.3.2"
  action :uninstall
end

or

npm_package "bad_local_one" do
  version "0.3.2"
  path "/your/project/path/goes/here"
  action :uninstall_local
end

TODO

• wrap other features of npm to LWRP
