Hi folks and happy new year,

For readability here is a link if you want the history of this patchset:
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2019-December/290298.html

--- V4

The patches can be found here:
https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/openembedded-core/tree/npm-refactoring-v4

 - Two fetchers are available: npm and npmsw

 - The npm fetcher is used to fetch a single package from a registry.

 - The npmsw fetcher is used to fetch the dependencies of a package. It uses a
   npm shrinkwrap file to list the dependencies. The file can be edited
   manually if some dependencies needs to be updated.

 - Both fetcher are independent.

   For example you can have a main package using npm:
     SRC_URI = "npm://registry.url;package=foobar;version=1.0.0 \
                npmsw://${THISDIR}/npm-shrinkwrap.json"

   The main package can also be fetched another way without changing anything:
     SRC_URI = "git://github.com/foo/bar.git;protocol=https \
                npmsw://${THISDIR}/npm-shrinkwrap.json"

 - The npm class is in charge of executing the 'npm install'. This installation
   is executed completely offline. The package sources can be patched safely
   before the build.

 - The npm class populates a local npm cache during the do_configure task. As
   this step can take time the support of a progress bar have been added.

 - The devtool and recipetool scripts have been updated to match the new
   fetchers and class. The licences are handled and split by dependencies.

 - Both fetcher, the recipe creation and the recipe build are covered by tests.

 - Using devtool I have successfully generated and built recipe for:
   - My test application:
       https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/node-server-example
   - The angular cli which will be used to build angular applications:
       https://cli.angular.io
   - The mozilla iot gateway which is a big project with a lot of dependencies:
       https://github.com/mozilla-iot/gateway
     To build this project you have to manually add this line in the recipe:
       DEPENDS = "nanomsg sqlite3 libuv"
