nodejs-cookbook

DESCRIPTION

Installs Node.js and manage npm

USAGE

Include the nodejs recipe to install node on your system based on the default installation method:
chef include_recipe "nodejs"
Installation method can be customized with attribute node['nodejs']['install_method']

Install methods

Package

Install node from packages:

node['nodejs']['install_method'] = 'package' # Not necessary because it's the default
include_recipe "nodejs"
# Or
include_recipe "nodejs::nodejs_from_package"

Note that only apt (Ubuntu, Debian) appears to have up to date packages available.
Centos, RHEL, etc are non-functional (try nodejs_from_binary for those).

Binary

Install node from official prebuilt binaries:
```chef
node['nodejs']['install_method'] = 'binary'
include_recipe "nodejs"

Or

include_recipe "nodejs::nodejs_from_binary"
```

Source

Install node from sources:
```chef
node['nodejs']['install_method'] = 'source'
include_recipe "nodejs"

Or

include_recipe "nodejs::nodejs_from_source"
```

NPM

Npm is included in nodejs installs by default.
By default, we are using it and call it embedded.
Adding recipe nodejs::npm assure you to have npm installed and let you choose install method with node['npm']['install_method']
chef include_recipe "nodejs::npm"
Warning: This recipe will include the nodejs recipe, which by default includes nodejs::nodejs_from_package if you did not set node['nodejs']['install_method'].

LWRP

nodejs_npm

nodejs_npm let you install npm packages from various sources:
* npm registry:
* name: attribute :package
* version: attribute :version (optionnal)
* url: attribute :url
* for git use git://{your_repo}
* from a json (packages.json by default): attribute :json
* use true for default
* use a String to specify json file

Packages can be installed globally (by default) or in a directory (by using attribute :path)

You can append more specific options to npm command with attribute :options array :

* use an array of options (w/ dash), they will be added to npm call.
* ex: ['--production','--force'] or ['--force-latest']

This LWRP try to use npm bare as much as possible (no custom wrapper).
