npm¶

Description¶

This Ansible role installs npm and optionally runs npm ci within a given project directory. It is intended to streamline dependency installation for Node.js applications.

Overview¶

Designed for use in Node-based projects, this role installs npm and can execute a clean install (npm ci) to ensure consistent dependency trees.

Features¶

npm Installation: Ensures the npm package manager is installed.
Optional Project Setup: Runs npm ci in a specified folder to install exact versions from package-lock.json.
Idempotent: Skips npm ci if no folder is configured.

Configuration¶

Set npm_project_folder to a directory containing package.json and package-lock.json:

vars:
  npm_project_folder: /opt/scripts/my-node-project/
