homebrew-npm-noob 0.3

Generate Homebrew formulae for npm packages

homebrew-npm-noob generates a Homebrew formula for an npm package. It is inspired by homebrew-pypi-poet.

Installation

Either

pip install homebrew-npm-noob

or

brew install zmwangx/npm-noob/noob

Usage

$ noob --help
usage: noob [-h] [-w] [-t TAP] [-v] [--debug] package

Generate a Homebrew formula for an npm package. By default the generated
formula is printed to stdout. If -w, --write is specified, the formula is
directly written to the specified tap, or homebrew/core if no tap is
specified.

positional arguments:
  package            name of the package on npm

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  -w, --write        write to filesystem instead of stdout
  -t TAP, --tap TAP  if writing to filesystem, write to this tap instead of
                     homebrew/core
  -v, --version      show program's version number and exit
  --debug
