Automatic import of node_modules

[macmladen]

It would be nice to support node_modules import the way bower is supported as lot of libraries can now be downloaded with npm therefore reducing complexity and eliminating bower if possible.

Like:

var sass = require('node-sass');,
    importOnce = require('node-sass-import-once');

sass.render({
  file: scss_filename,
  importer: importOnce,
  importOnce: {
    index: false,
    css: false,
    bower: false,
    node: false
  }
});

I had to install bower just to use node-sass-import-once's auto-import feature.

I've briefly looked at how to implement this and realize we may be screwed. The new flat directory structure of the new Node.js node_modules folder means that I have a ridiculous amount of folders to search through.

For example, if the only 3 things in my package.json dependencies is: gulp, gulp-sass, node-sass-import-once, I get 228 folders in node_modules. Ooof.

Yah, I'm going to leave node module imports to Eyeglass

Well, one valid use case for this, even when eyeglass is used, are npm packages for sass styles
that don't come with the necessary eyeglass metadata or structure yet.

With best regards

Agreed. Will get rolling on this
