Runtime

This example runs commands based on what you used to run the file.

import pmex from 'pmex';

// Different command based on package manager
pmex({
  npm: 'cache clean --force',
  yarn: 'cache clean --all',
  pnpm: 'store prune',
  bun: 'pm cache rm -g'
})

// Fallback to default
pmex({
  bun: 'bunx cowsay "Hello World!"',
  default: 'npx cowsay "Hello World!"'
})

pmex('test')

pmex('tsc --noEmit')

pmex('build')

Override

You can force the use of a package manager. This example runs npm install for all package managers and then runs tsc with automatic detection of the package manager.

import pmex from 'pmex';

pmex('npm install -g tsc')

pmex('tsc --noEmit')
