Node Wrapper(s)

This project provides Node/NPM/NPX wrapper scripts. These scripts automate the setup and utilization of Node.js in local or project-specific environments.

Rationale

The Node.js ecosystem is vast and diverse, leading to several challenges:

  1. Multiple Project Requirements: Different projects may require different versions of Node.js, NPM, or NPX. This diversity can lead to conflicts when working on multiple projects simultaneously.

  2. Environment Constraints: In certain environments, such as CI/CD pipelines or Docker containers, Node.js may not be installed by default. This can pose challenges in setting up and maintaining the development environment.

  3. Version Management: Managing multiple versions of Node.js on the same machine can be complex and error-prone.

The Node Wrapper scripts aim to address these challenges by providing a flexible and easy-to-use solution for managing Node.js versions.

Usage

The wrapper scripts allow you to use different versions of Node.js across various projects without needing a global installation.

To use the wrapper scripts, follow these steps:

  1. Copy the scripts to your project directory.
  2. Replace the commands in your project scripts:
    • Replace node with sh nodew
    • Replace npm with sh npmw
    • Replace npx with sh npxw

Here's an example:

% sh npxw --version
10.7.0

Please note that a directory named 'node' will be created. Make sure to add it to your VCS ignore list.
