@itayavra/rmnpm v1.0.37

rmnpm

A cool tool that saves you time if you want to remove your node_modules folder before running the npm install command.

How does it do it?

By first moving the node_modules folder to a temporary location ($TMPDIR) it clears the room to start running npm install and simultaneously delete the old node_modules folder while the new modules are being installed.

Installation

To install globally run:

npm install -g @itayavra/rmnpm

Usage

In the root of your project, simply run rmnpm using:

rmnpm

Or (if not installed globally):

npx @itayavra/rmnpm

Additional arguments

• [-p | --pull] - Update the code before reinstalling all the packages
• [-r | --remove-lock-file] - Remove the package-lock.json file if exists
• [-l | --use-lock-file] - Use a lock file, runs npm ci --prefer-offline instead of npm i
• [-s | --skip-install] - Remove the node_modules folder but skip running npm i
• [-q | --quiet] - Run without rmnpm logs (will still show the output of the commands it runs)
• --clear-cache - Clear the ‘Total time saved’ data

Example usage

To update the code and remove the lock file before reinstalling all the packages, run:

rmnpm -p -r
