base-npm-prompt

Extends the base-npm plugin with prompts for intalling dependencies as a part of a build-workflow.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install base-npm-prompt --save

Usage

var prompt = require('base-npm-prompt');
var npm  require('base-npm');
var Base = require('base-app');
var app = new Base();
 
// register the `base-npm` plugin first
app.use(npm());
 
// register the `base-npm-prompt` plugin
app.use(prompt());

Note that if you use base directly you will also need to let the plugin know that it is being registered on a Base "application" (since Base can be used to create anything, like views, collections etc.).

var Base = require('base');
var app = new Base({isApp: true}); // <=
var prompt = require('base-npm-prompt');
var npm = require('base-npm');
 
// register the `base-npm` plugin first
app.use(npm());
 
// register the `base-npm-prompt` plugin
app.use(prompt());
 
app.npm.prompt('dependencies', function(err) {
  if (err) return cb(err);
  app.npm.prompt('devDependencies', cb);
});
