Running `npm install` in a package dir with no arguments about puppet-nodejs HOT 10 CLOSED

An empty string as the title for a defined type is not valid, so no, you can't do this with the npm defined type at the moment. This should probably be a new type of its own. Say, run_npm_install { '/path/to/directory': }

@jyaworski this is still desired and missing

While it's not ideal, you can run nodejs::npm like this:

nodejs::npm { 'App dependencies':
  ensure  => 'present',
  package => '',
  target  => '/home/example/',
}

Which runs "npm install" in that directory

is that idempotent, though?
