[![CK Version](http://img.shields.io/cookbook/v/nodejs.svg?branch=master)](https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/nodejs) [![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/travis/redguide/nodejs.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/redguide/nodejs) [![Gitter chat](https://badges.gitter.im/redguide/nodejs.svg)](https://gitter.im/redguide/nodejs)
Installs node.js/npm and includes a resource for managing npm packages
## Requirements
### Platforms
- Debian/Ubuntu
- RHEL/CentOS/Scientific/Amazon/Oracle
- openSUSE
Note: Source installs require GCC 4.8+, which is not included on older distro releases
### Chef
- Chef 12.14+
### Cookbooks
- build-essential
- ark
## Usage
Include the nodejs recipe to install node on your system based on the default installation method:
```chef
include_recipe "nodejs"
```
### Install methods
#### Package
Install node from packages:
```chef
node['nodejs']['install_method'] = 'package' # Not necessary because it's the default
include_recipe "nodejs"
# Or
include_recipe "nodejs::nodejs_from_package"
```
By default this will setup deb/rpm repositories from nodesource.com, which include up to date NodeJS packages. If you prefer to use distro provided package you can disable this behavior by setting `node['nodejs']['install_repo']` to `false`.
#### Binary
Install node from official prebuilt binaries:
```chef
node['nodejs']['install_method'] = 'binary'
include_recipe "nodejs"
# Or
include_recipe "nodejs::nodejs_from_binary"
# Or set a specific version of nodejs to be installed
node.default['nodejs']['install_method'] = 'binary'
node.default['nodejs']['version'] = '5.9.0'
node.default['nodejs']['binary']['checksum'] = '99c4136cf61761fac5ac57f80544140a3793b63e00a65d4a0e528c9db328bf40'
# Or fetch the binary from your own location
node.default['nodejs']['install_method'] = 'binary'
node.default['nodejs']['binary']['url'] = 'https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-bucket/node-v7.8.0-linux-x64.tar.gz'
node.default['nodejs']['binary']['checksum'] = '0bd86f2a39221b532172c7d1acb57f0b0cba88c7b82ea74ba9d1208b9f6f9697'
```
#### 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['nodejs']['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']`.
## Resources
### npm_package
note: This resource was previously named nodejs_npm. Calls to that resource name will still function, but cookbooks should be updated for the new npm_package resource name.
`npm_package` let you install npm packages from various sources:
- npm registry:
- name: `property :package`
- version: `property :version` (optional)
- url: `property :url`
- for git use `git://{your_repo}`
- from a json (package.json by default): `property :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 specify an `NPM_TOKEN` environment variable for accessing [NPM private modules](https://docs.npmjs.com/private-modules/intro) by using `attribute :npm_token`
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 attempts to use vanilla npm as much as possible (no custom wrapper).
### Packages
```ruby
npm_package 'express'
npm_package 'async' do
version '0.6.2'
end
npm_package 'request' do
url 'github mikeal/request'
end
npm_package 'grunt' do
path '/home/random/grunt'
json true
user 'random'
end
npm_package 'my_private_module' do
path '/home/random/myproject' # The root path to your project, containing a package.json file
json true
npm_token '12345-abcde-e5d4c3b2a1'
user 'random'
options ['--production'] # Only install dependencies. Skip devDependencies
end
```
[Working Examples](test/cookbooks/nodejs_test/recipes/npm.rb)
Or add packages via attributes (which accept the same attributes as the LWRP above):
```json
"nodejs": {
"npm_packages": [
{
"name": "express"
},
{
"name": "async",
"version": "0.6.2"
},
{
"name": "request",
"url": "github mikeal/request"
}
{
"name": "grunt",
"path": "/home/random/grunt",
"json": true,
"user": "random"
}
]
}
```
