This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Based on issues #243618 and #244299. If one creates a new project which requires "npm install" to install all dependencies, it would be nice if NetBeans could do it automatically. However, it means that we should add support for NPM tool (in its own module, to avoid copy & pasting of code). Thanks.
It would be nice to have the complete standard NodeJS/NPM support: - panel where to setup NodeJs/NPM paths - maybe similar configuration per project, not sure whether necessary or not, sorry - context menu on the project to call NPM commands This support should be likely on all project types since it can be part of any frontend based project (HTML, Maven Web, Web project, PHP).
*** Bug 244461 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Assigning to Honza, he already did something around npm command. BTW if there is now "npm install" action available, I guess that we can close this enhancement (and perhaps update project description to call this action). Thanks.

What dou you mean by "update project description to call this action?"

(In reply to Jan Becicka from comment #4) > What dou you mean by "update project description to call this action?" The description in the New Project wizard. I already did it for one such project [1]; Láďo, feel free to let us know if such description is missing somewhere. Thanks. [1] http://hg.netbeans.org/web-main/rev/f4118d383046

That would be perfect, thanks. Regarding Java Web projects - MartineJ, Davide, I guess you have no objections. If I am wrong, please let Honza know. Thanks.
(In reply to Tomas Mysik from comment #6) > Láďo, feel free to let us know if such description is missing I've tried all HTML5 sample projects and templates, none of them contains package.json except of the already fixed ones.

Thanks
