NAME¶
npm-edit - Edit an installed package
SYNOPSIS¶
npm.commands.edit(package, callback)
DESCRIPTION¶
Opens the package folder in the default editor (or whatever you´ve
configured as the npm
editor config -- see
npm help config.)
After it has been edited, the package is rebuilt so as to pick up any changes in
compiled packages.
For instance, you can do
npm install connect to install connect into your
package, and then
npm.commands.edit(["connect"], callback) to
make a few changes to your locally installed copy.
The first parameter is a string array with a single element, the package to
open. The package can optionally have a version number attached.
Since this command opens an editor in a new process, be careful about where and
how this is used.
