Organize as a npm package

[hsiaoyi0504]

It would be good to make this as a npm package and can be installed by npm. This change will let user don't need to include a copy into their repo.

hi! can you elaborate? are you referring to the https://github.com/18F/analytics.usa.gov/ repo?

[tdlowden]

Or do you mean for DAP <script> implementation?

Hi @tdlowden, I think the suggestion (feature request) is for this repo.
Make this repo as a npm package enable users (built project based on it) to install the script through npm install and keep track the version of it through package.json https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json (for version management purpose).

For example, we have a project using the Universal-Federated-Analytics.js, but we will combine this file together with other .js files (also minify it together), and basically, we don't modify the original script, so we don't have a copy inside the repo, but collecting this script during building our project.

We've begun taking the steps to turn this into npm package in this pull request: #68

I think a few other clean up steps are required, but afterward, we can see if we can publish to npm.

@eddietejeda Thanks for the information. BTW, npm can install package just on a branch https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39732397/install-specific-branch-from-github-using-npm.
