node-engineer v0.2.8

node-engineer

Parse package.json, inspect engine property and ensure command runs with right node.js version.

Engineer makes it trivial to run a command in an environment where node and npm match those specified by a particular package.json's engine field.

This makes it a no-brainer to run an arbitrary package under whatever version of node it needs. Engineer uses nave and semver to do the heavy lifting ot installing and checking for valid node.js versions.

Installation

npm install -g engineer

Usage

execute command with node version acceptable to engine package.json property
usage: node ./main.js

Options:
  -c  Shell command         [required]
  -f  Path to package.json  [required]

Missing required arguments: c, f

Demo

$ engineer -f package.json -c 'npm ls'
local versions: ["0.6.19"]
Local version 0.6.19 satisfies range >=0.6.0 <0.7.0
running cmd: ["./node_modules/nave/nave.sh","use","0.6.19","npm","ls"]
