does npmd include module source or just metadata?

[kumavis]

The readme makes it sound like its only replicating readme + package.json

[dominictarr]

okay, updated the readme - please let me know if that gives you the right impression.

Looking again, I think the line that threw me off was All the npm metadata (package.json + readmes) are stored locally in leveldb. This made me think oh, this only stores the metadata, so it caches the dependency graph via the package.json's, and then maybe you hit npm for each module?

[dominictarr]

that is correct. It downloads each tarball from the registry, and then caches it, but only when you need it.
