NpmHandler
==========

[](#npmhandler)

The project allow you to automatically install [NPM](https://npmjs.org/) dependencies during `composer install` or/and `update`.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Require the npm handler in your composer.json file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "blazarecki/npm-handler": "0.1.*",
    }
}

```

And update the scripts part to run npm handler automatically on install or/and update.

```
{
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "Scar\\NpmHandler\\Composer\\NpmHandler::install"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "Scar\\NpmHandler\\Composer\\NpmHandler::install"
        ]
    }
}

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add a `package.json` somewhere in your project.

For example:

```
{
    "name": "my-app",
    "description": "description of my-app",
    "repository": {},
    "dependencies" : {
        "bower"    :  "1.2.x",
        "less"     :  "1.4.x"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "phantomjs":  "1.9.x"
    }
}

```

[See this for more details about package.json file](http://package.json.nodejitsu.com/)

Now each time you'll run `composer install` or `composer update` the command `npm install` will be call in the package.json dir.

You can create multiple `package.json` files anywhere in your project.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

In your composer.json file you can specified some packages to exclude in the extra block.

```
{
   "extra": {
        "npm-handler": {
            "exclude-packages": {
                "somedir",
                "otherdir/package.json"
            }
        }
    }
}

```

You can also specified the absolute or relative path to npm executable (useful when using multiple versions)

```
{
   "extra": {
        "npm-handler": {
            "npm-path": "/path/to/npm"
        }
    }
}

```

If you want to install `devDependencies` you must run composer in dev mode. `composer install --dev`

Enjoy and feel free to contribute !
