Extract and use version from package.json

[wereHamster]

It would be nice if there was a way to automatically install the correct nodejs version by extracting the version from a projects package.json file. I'm thinking about something like this:

nodejs::project { '/path/to/some/project': }

which would expand to:

nodejs::local { '/path/to/some/project':
  version => $version_from_package_json
}

That way I could keep the source of truth in the project repo, because there are other tools which read the version from the package.json file (e.g. when deploying to heroku).

I just got https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv-package-json-engine working, which you can setup in your manifest(s) via:

nodejs::nodenv::plugin { 'nodenv-package-json-engine':
  ensure => 'v1.0.0',
  source => 'nodenv/nodenv-package-json-engine'
}
