    NPM support is no longer global. Instead, it can now be configured
    
independently for each build type. This is important for allowing
    
editable and maybe sdist installs to use NPM, but to avoid it for Wheel
    
installs (which should not require any kind of Internet access to
    
build).
    

    There are small changes to this:
    

      

    • The enabled flag is now install.
      • 

    • The python-dependencies is now python-modules, which better
      
  reflects how it's used.
      • 

    
 
    

    





  

    
 
 
    
  
    Tested on a package using NPM. Verified I could control the NPM
    
behavior per-build.
    

    Viewed the new docs.

        I go back and forth on this. This is one of those things that is super situational. If you build wheels off of your sdists, then you proabbly shouldn't use npm here, but if you don't, then maybe you should. We are going to absolutely be violating this recommendation in a few places for quite a while.
