Hi Chris,
I think @Alessandro (CC) has already done some work on this over at [1].
I'm not sure what the status of it is though. Maybe you two can discuss
this together to avoid doing double work.
There's been others too, e.g.
https://git.sr.ht/~dblsaiko/ebuilds/tree/master/item/eclass/npm2x.eclass
Haven't needed npm stuff myself but I was keeping looking at that
one in mind if I ever needed to. Albeit at this point I'd likely
not want the giant manifest+variables required for these without
a vendor tarball.
Best regards,
Andrew

For what it's worth, I have made similar attempts in my personal overlay,
based on a small helper that exposes a local folder as an NPM cache which
will work as expected for the NPM command line with minimal updates.
The helper is at https://github.com/rbarrois/cjs-ledger
The eclass (could be better) at
https://git.xelnor.net/?p=overlay.git;a=blob;f=eclass/xel-nodejs.eclass;hb=HEAD
An example usage can be found here:

If this can be of interest, feel free to ping me!
