Node's Personal Manservant
summary
npm is both a registry and a CLI that installs, version-locks and scripts projects; the demo uses npm install --save/--save-dev, package.json and local vs global installs to manage CoffeeScript, mocha and falafel. A tiny tool called dinkum‑ize parses JS AST with falafel to replace the literal true with "fair dinkum", compiles CoffeeScript, runs tests via an npm test script and integrates with Travis CI. npm’s CouchDB replication enables local mirrors (used to avoid Australian latency). Some live tests run; full test automation needs the compile step.
