Installation

npm install root-installer

Usage

You can use either a npm script or run the command from your terminal at your root directory

As node script

"scripts": {
    "root-installer": "node node_modules/root-installer -d 'app storybook' -p 'react redux'"
}

Options:
  -d, --directories
  A list of the directories separated by `,`
  They operate as relative paths from the process.cwd().

  e.g. -d 'dir1 dir2 sites/dir2' for a file structure of
  ROOT
  |_package.json
  |_dir1
  |_dir2
  |_sites
    |_dir3

  -p, --packages
  A list of packages separated by `,`
  e.g. -p 'react redux'.

  -v, --dev-packages
  A list of packages separated by `,`
  e.g. -v 'lodash sass-loader'.

if you do not specify packages or dev-packages then it will run npm i in the specified directories.

From the terminal

Same stuff just navigate to your root dir (or whichever dir you like to base your directories relative path definitions) and then something like:

node node_modules/root-installer -d 'app storybook' -v 'node-sass lodash'
OR
node node_modules/root-installer -d 'app storybook' -p 'react redux'

Current Status

root-installer is a package that installs a list of packages in a list of directories. The point is to avoid all the cds and to be able to bulk install in different dirs if needed.

Keep in mind that we create one node process per directory so don't ovedo it ;)

Output

When you run the script you will see whatever npm i outputs as a process.

Limitations

We need to run separate commands for normal and dev dependencies.

Features to come

• CLI option for ROOT_DIR

Contributions

I would very much appreciate any code contributions. Either to solve our limitations or create more features.
