##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 "[email protected]"

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
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
