Base plugin that adds methods for programmatically running npm commands.
You might also be interested in base-bower.
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save base-npmNote that if you use base directly you will also need to let the plugin know that it is being registered on a Base "application" (since Base can be used to create anything, like views, collections etc.).
var npm = require('base-npm');
var Base = require('base');
var app = new Base({isApp: true}); // <=
app.use(npm());
// install npm packages `micromatch` and `is-absolute` to devDependencies
app.npm.devDependencies(['micromatch', 'is-absolute'], function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
});Execute npm install with the given args, package names and callback.
