ansible install node.js version 6 - node.js

Question

For installing the node 6.x version these are the commands:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
now how exactly do I do that in ansible?
any ideas here?
this is what I had till now, but it installs the old version

I was using this playbook for installing node 6.1.0 via nvm(node version manager):
Note: You may need to change the hosts and connection in the play.
---
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
vars:
node_version: 6.1.0
tasks:
- name: Download the nvm(node version manager) install script
get_url: url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh dest=/tmp/install.sh
- name: Install dependencies
apt: pkg={{ item }} update_cache=yes cache_valid_time=3600
with_items:
- git
- curl
- build-essential
- libssl-dev
become: yes
become_user: root
- name: Execute the nvm install script
shell: bash install.sh chdir=/tmp executable=/bin/bash
- name: Register the NVM_DIR
shell: echo $NVM_DIR
register: nvm_dir
- name: Install the specified node version using the nvm command and set it as default
shell: . {{ nvm_dir.stdout }}/nvm.sh && nvm install {{ node_version }} && nvm run {{node_version}} --version && nvm alias default {{node_version}}
creates=~/.nvm/versions/node/v{{ node_version }}

Based on the code in the original question, and the helpful comment from #ydaetskcoR, I was able to install NodeJS 6.x with the following on Ubuntu 16.04:
- name: Add Nodesource Keys
become: yes
apt_key:
url: https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key
state: present
# Note: "xenial" is ubuntu-speak for 16.04
- name: Add Nodesource Apt Sources
become: yes
apt_repository:
repo: '{{ item }}'
state: present
with_items:
- 'deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_6.x xenial main'
- 'deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_6.x xenial main'
- name: Install NodeJS and NPM
become: yes
apt:
name: '{{ item }}'
state: latest
update_cache: yes
with_items:
- nodejs
- nodejs-legacy
- npm
I've refactored a little for brevity, but the most important thing is the addition of _6.x to the repository URLs.
This worked for me using Ansible 2.3.2.0
