nodew

Simple wrapper around nvm.

Features:

• Sourceable
• Works even if nvm isn't installed on the system
• Includes project-local utilities (via node_modules/.bin)
• Sourcing from another project unloads the previous project automatically
• Can be used as a direct command wrapper, not just sourced
• Uses latest LTS release of node by default

Usage

Put nodew in your project, and simply source it to setup your project's node environment (defaults to current Node LTS version).

• Uses .nvmrc if present (or NODE_VERSION if set) to select project's node.js version, just like nvm

• Injects node_modules/.bin into your PATH if package.json or package-lock.json are found

• ./nodew COMMAND will run against the project's node environment without sourcing it into your shell

• ./nodew will prompt you to update the script to the current master from this repository

Future

• Windows support? -> it's possible to create a single polyglot script but nvm doesn't support windows, so we'd need to pull something else in or manage the download and installation directly
