npm extension for Chassis

The npm extension automatically sets up your Chassis instance to be able to use that latest npm release inside your Chassis box.

Activation

Ensure you have a Chassis instance set up locally then clone this extension.

# In your Chassis dir:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Chassis/npm.git extensions/npm

Then you'll need to reprovision

cd ..
vagrant provision

Alternatively you can add the extension to one of your yaml config files. e.g.

# Extensions
#
# Install a list of extensions automatically
extensions:
    - chassis/npm

Then you'll need to reprovision

cd ..
vagrant provision

npm has now been installed inside your Chassis box.

Installing Npm dependencies

You can have Chassis automatically run npm install in a number of directories in your project by adding a list of directories in one of your yaml files. e.g.

npm:
    paths:
        # Use absolute paths on the VM. For a default Chassis installation this should be:
        - /vagrant/content/plugins/yourplugin
        - /vagrant/content/themes/atheme
        # If you're using paths (http://docs.chassis.io/en/latest/config/#paths) in Chassis this should be:
        - /chassis/content/plugins/yourplugin
        - /chassis/content/themes/atheme

You'll need to run vagrant provision for those to be installed if you'd added them after your first initial Chassis vagrant up.
