npj v1.0.4

NPJ

npj (npm jumper) acts as a global bridge between all your npm projects.

Installation

npm i -g https://github.com/austinbillings/npj.git

Overview

npj makes use of a per-user local "registry" to keep track of which NPM packages are in development are in development where on your machine. This also allows it to easily run scripts from any registered package, triggerable from any directory on your system.

The file used by npj to store your registry lives at ~/.npj-registry, and its contents are a plain JSON object which maps projectName keys to packageDirPath values.

Usage

See help

npj --help

Register a package

cd my-project # anything with a package.json will do
npj add

[NPJ] ✓ OK:    my-project -> /Users/admin/code/my-project @0.0.1

Show registered packages

npj ls

[NPJ] «package»  my-project @0.0.1
[NPJ] >>>>       -->--> /Users/admin/code/my-project

Add another package

cd ../some-other-project
npj add

[NPJ] ✓ OK:    some-other-project -> /Users/admin/code/some-other-project @1.0.3

Listing packages afterward (npj ls):

[NPJ] «package»  my-project @0.0.1
[NPJ] >>>>       -->--> /Users/admin/code/my-project
[NPJ] «package»  some-other-project @1.0.3
[NPJ] >>>>       -->--> /Users/admin/code/some-other-project

Remove from registry

cd my-project
npj remove

[NPJ] ✓ OK:    Removed "some-other-project" from registry

List scripts offered by a registered package

npj scripts my-package

[NPJ] «package»  my-package @0.0.1
[NPJ] >>>>       -->--> /Users/admin/code/my-package
[NPJ] «script»   test
[NPJ] >>>>          node tests/all.js
[NPJ] «script»   build
[NPJ] >>>>          node build.js

Run a registered package's script (or multiple!)

npj my-project:build my-project:test

> my-project@0.0.1 build /Users/admin/code/my-project
> node build.js
...

[NPJ] «script»   my-project: Running script «test»

> my-project@0.0.1 test /Users/admin/code/my-project
> node tests/all.js
...
