npm-utils

Async NPM shell commands: install, test, etc.

Use

var npmUtils = require('npm-utils');
npmUtils.version()
  .then(function (semver) {
    console.log('NPM version %s', semver);
  });

API

path() // returns immediately path to npm command

install({
  name: string,
  version: string (optional),
  prefix: string (optional), // folder path prefix
  passThroughData: obj (optional),
  registry: string (optional) // registry url
})

returns a promise

version() // returns a promise, resolved with NPM version string

test() // spawns npm test command
test('grunt test'); // spawns new command "grunt test"

The child test process will inherit output streams from the parent.

registryUrl(); // returns a promise
// same as `npm config get registry` - which only uses
// .npmrc in the CURRENT folder (if there is .npmrc file)

publish({ tag: '...'});
// the tag is optional
