@antfu/ni
Advanced tools
Package description
@antfu/ni is a command-line tool that provides a unified interface for package managers like npm, yarn, and pnpm. It simplifies the process of managing dependencies by automatically detecting the package manager used in a project and running the appropriate commands.
Install Dependencies
The `ni` command installs dependencies in the current project. It automatically detects the package manager used (npm, yarn, or pnpm) and runs the corresponding install command.
niAdd a Dependency
The `ni <package>` command adds a new dependency to the project. It detects the package manager and runs the appropriate command to add the specified package.
ni axiosRemove a Dependency
The `nr <package>` command removes a dependency from the project. It detects the package manager and runs the appropriate command to remove the specified package.
nr axiosUpgrade Dependencies
The `nu` command upgrades all dependencies in the project. It detects the package manager and runs the appropriate command to upgrade the dependencies.
nuRun Scripts
The `ni run <script>` command runs a script defined in the project's package.json file. It detects the package manager and runs the appropriate command to execute the script.
ni run buildnpm is the default package manager for Node.js. It provides a wide range of commands for managing dependencies, running scripts, and more. Unlike @antfu/ni, npm does not automatically detect other package managers.
Yarn is a fast, reliable, and secure dependency management tool. It offers similar functionalities to npm but with a focus on speed and reliability. Yarn does not provide a unified interface for other package managers like @antfu/ni.
pnpm is a fast, disk space-efficient package manager. It uses a unique symlink-based approach to manage dependencies. Like npm and yarn, pnpm does not offer a unified interface for other package managers.
Readme
npm i in a yarn project, again? F**k!
ni - use the right package manager
npm i -g @antfu/ni ni
ni - installni
# npm install
# yarn install
# pnpm install
ni axios
# npm i axios
# yarn add axios
# pnpm i axios
ni @types/node -D
# npm i @types/node -D
# yarn add @types/node -D
# pnpm i @types/node -D
ni --frozen
# npm ci
# yarn install --frozen-lockfile
# pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
ni -g iroiro
# npm i -g iroiro
# yarn global add iroiro
# pnpm i -g iroiro
# this uses default agent, regardless CWD
nr - runnr dev --port=3000
# npm run dev -- --port=3000

# interactively select the script to run

# yarn upgrade-interactive
# pnpm upgrade -i
nci - clean installnci
# npm ci
# yarn install --frozen-lockfile
# pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
if the corresponding node manager is not present, this command will install it globally along the way.
; ~/.nirc
; fallback when no lock found
defaultAgent=npm # default "prompt"
; for global installs
globalAgent=npm
ni assumes that you work with lockfiles (and you should)
Before it runs, it will detect your yarn.lock / pnpm-lock.yaml / package-lock.json to know current package manager, and runs the corresponding commands.
