NAME

       npm-edit - Edit an installed package

SYNOPSIS

       npm.commands.edit(package, callback)

DESCRIPTION

       Opens  the  package folder in the default editor (or whatever you´ve configured as the npm
       editor config -- see npm help config.)

       After it has been edited, the package is rebuilt so as to pick up any changes in  compiled
       packages.

       For  instance,  you  can  do npm install connect to install connect into your package, and
       then npm.commands.edit(["connect"], callback) to  make  a  few  changes  to  your  locally
       installed copy.

       The  first  parameter  is  a  string array with a single element, the package to open. The
       package can optionally have a version number attached.

       Since this command opens an editor in a new process, be careful about where and  how  this
       is used.
