Npm Processor
Purpose
Installs Node.js dependencies from package.json files using npm.
How It Works
Discovers package.json files in the project, runs npm install in each
directory, and creates a stamp file on success. Sibling .json, .js, and
.ts files are tracked as inputs so changes trigger reinstallation.
Source Files
- Input:
**/package.json(plus sibling.json,.js,.tsfiles) - Output:
out/npm/{flat_name}.stamp
Configuration
[processor.npm]
npm = "npm" # The npm command to run
command = "install" # The npm subcommand to execute
args = [] # Additional arguments to pass to npm
extra_inputs = [] # Additional files that trigger rebuilds when changed
cache_output_dir = true # Cache the node_modules directory for fast restore after clean
