Node.js generator: package type option #11

The choices would be:

CLI: sets preferGlobal and bin fields in package.json
Library/framework/upstream package
Root
CLI and API

Though, this might be overcomplicating the issue, I guess a simple "Does this package include a CLI program?" boolean prompt could suffice.

Yeah, let's keep it simple by now. In the feature we can (maybe) provide more options.

Had another idea:

Currently we have a "preferred flags" prompt, if the user input matches /\b-g|--global\b/ then we set preferGlobal: true. Then in another question we ask what kind of Node package is it, this would be a radio selection of API, CLI or both. Or perhaps two checkboxes would be okay too.

Anyway this is low priority, I'll publish slush-es20xx 1.0.0 without this feature.

I guess this options set would be more useful to end-users:

Node.js server (express back-end + front-end)
Just front-end
Node.js package (API and/or CLI)
