docs/Node: mention homebrew-npm-noob
====================================
I found myself writing quite a few node-based formulae recently, so I wrote a formula generator for npm packages, [homebrew-npm-noob](https://github.com/zmwangx/homebrew-npm-noob) (which, as the name hints, is inspired by Tim's homebrew-pypi-poet; hats off). To try it, just
brew install zmwangx/npm-noob/noob
or
pip install homebrew-npm-noob
(Python 3.3+ required.) It generates formulae like
```rb
require "language/node"
class Svgo < Formula
desc "Nodejs-based tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files"
homepage "https://github.com/svg/svgo"
url "https://registry.npmjs.org/svgo/-/svgo-0.7.2.tgz"
version "0.7.2"
sha256 "e4fdae5cebe896bc90ec66acd4199495e0b826e55d5e8631c4ba6a0bf968d2ca"
depends_on "node"
def install
system "npm", "install", *Language::Node.std_npm_install_args(libexec)
bin.install_symlink Dir["#{libexec}/bin/*"]
end
test do
raise "Test not implemented."
end
end
```
or
```rb
require "language/node"
class BabelCli < Formula
desc "Babel command line"
homepage "https://babeljs.io/"
url "https://registry.npmjs.org/babel-cli/-/babel-cli-6.24.1.tgz"
version "6.24.1"
sha256 "d69a00bdb4f35184cda1f5bfe8075cd4d569600b8e61d864d1f08e360367933b"
devel do
url "https://registry.npmjs.org/babel-cli/-/babel-cli-7.0.0-alpha.15.tgz"
version "7.0.0-alpha.15"
sha256 "e825b9fe8e578aa392a8b398950070d3816c4c75e99953adb07ccfe858aea454"
end
depends_on "node"
def install
system "npm", "install", *Language::Node.std_npm_install_args(libexec)
bin.install_symlink Dir["#{libexec}/bin/*"]
end
test do
raise "Test not implemented."
end
end
```
It would be nice to "advertise" it in brew's docs so that other developers won't need to manually figure out tarball URLs on the npm registry (not trivial) and write boilerplate code.
