napa

A helper for installing repos without a package.json with npm.

usage

Install with npm install napa then setup your local package.json scripts as such:

{
  "scripts": {
    "install": "napa username/repo"
  }
}

Now when you run npm install it will git clone git://github.com/username/repo node_modules/repo.

Want to name the package something else?

{
  "scripts": {
    "install": "napa username/repo:adifferentname"
  }
}

Now it will install to node_modules/adifferentname.

Want to install a package not on github?

{
  "scripts": {
    "install": "napa git://example.com/user/repo:privatepackage"
  }
}

Multiple packages?

{
  "scripts": {
    "install": "napa user/repo1:dude user/repo2:rad user/repo3:cool"
  }
}

Prefer a more structured approach?

{
  "scripts": {
    "install": "napa"
  },
  "napa": {
    "foo": "username/repo",
    "bar": "[e-mail]:user/repo"
  }
}
