Try this out:

ansible.builtin.apt_key:
url: "https://example.com/nodesource.gpg.key"
state: present

- name: Add Node.js repository
ansible.builtin.apt_repository:
repo: "deb https://example.com/node_repo {{ ansible_distribution_release }} main"
state: present
update_cache: yes

- name: Install Node.js
apt:

- name: Run npm install
ansible.builtin.command: npm install
