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.
