npm-install-modules

Install npm modules (dependencies and devDependencies) programmatically.

Still quite raw as an individual module. Needs more testing in the wild (production use) to flesh out use-case development. Comments/PR's welcomed.

Installation

$ npm install npm-install-modules

Usage

var installModules = require('npm-install-modules')
 
var opts {
  dependencies: ["mout", "clockin", "colorz"],
  devDependencies: ["tape", "mocha"]
}
 
installModules(opts, function () {
  // do something here
})

results in package.json...

 "dependencies": {
    "clockin": "^0.1.1",
    "colorz": "^0.1.4",
    "mout": "^0.11.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "mocha": "^2.2.5",
    "tape": "^4.0.1"
  },

Why?

Building a scaffolder. Extracted this module from npinit. Figured it would be useful as a stand-alone.
