gp.recipe.node 22.17.1.1

Supported options

The recipe supports the following options:

url

url to a node.js source archive

binary-url

url to a node.js binary archive. You can use placeholders {v} (the desired node version), {p} (platform name), and {a} (CPU architecture). Defaults to https://nodejs.org/dist/v{v}/node-v{v}-{p}-{a}.tar.gz. Ignored if url is set, or if the platform is not recognized.

version

node.js version. Ignored if url is set, or if binary-url is set that doesn’t use the {v} placeholder. Default to recipe version. Mean that using recipe=gp.recipe.node==0.10.22.X will install node 0.10.22

npms

a list of package to install with npm. You can specify a package version by using npmname@version. In case you want to specify a package.json generated after a successfull first installation or update, you can add . to the list.

scripts

a list of scripts (optional)

node-path

a list of extra directory to add to NODE_PATH

relative-paths

will generate paths relative to the root buildout directory. this is also honored if ‘relative-paths’ is in the main buildout section

Example usage

We’ll start by creating a buildout that uses the recipe:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = test1
...
... [test1]
... recipe = gp.recipe.node
... npms = coffee-script less .
... scripts = coffee lessc
... """)

Running the buildout gives us:

>>> print 'start', system(buildout)
start...
Installing test1.
...
Generated script '.../bin/lessc'.
