Create an NPM package

[chambery]

Node integration is much easier with an npm package.

It looks like all you need to do is create the package.json ( npm init), then publish to the repo (npm publish).

I'm very much a node novice but here's a package.json start:

 {
   "author": "Ian Smith",
   "name": "taffydb",
   "description": "TaffyDB is an opensouce library that brings database features into your JavaScript applications.",
   "version": "0.0.1",
   "homepage": "http://taffydb.com/",
   "repository": {
     "type": "git",
     "url": "git://github.com/typicaljoe/taffydb.git"
   },
   "engines": {
     "node": "~0.4.12"
   },
   "dependencies": {},
   "devDependencies": {},
   "main": "taffy"
 }

I think I may have this working, at least as a first pass.

I've created a fork (https://github.com/chambery/taffydb) with the npm metadata, and got it to work locally using this tutorial:

You still have to add .taffy to the end:

 TAFFY = require("taffy").taffy

It's not working with this current version.. I'm working on adapting this to work with node 0.8.x
