Heroku Cloud Native npm Engine Buildpack

Heroku's official Cloud Native Buildpack for installing a specific version of npm.

How it works

The buildpack will pass detection if:

A package.json file is found at the root of the application source.
The package.json file contains an engines entry for npm that specifies a version range.

The npm version range specified in package.json will be used to determine an exact version of npm to install.

Note

This list of supported npm versions can be found in the inventory file included with this buildpack.

Once a valid npm version is determined, npm will be installed and its commands will be available on the path.

Name	Description
`node`	To install `npm` a Node.js runtime is required. It can be provided by the `heroku/nodejs-engine` buildpack.
`npm`	To install a different version of `npm` the default npm package manager that comes with Node.js is used. It can be provided by the `heroku/nodejs-engine`.

Name	Description
`npm`	Allows other buildpacks that require npm tooling to depend on this buildpack.
