@types/which
Advanced tools
The @types/which package provides TypeScript type definitions for the 'which' npm package. 'which' is a utility that locates and returns the path to an executable in the system path, similar to the Unix 'which' command. The @types/which package does not contain functionality itself but provides type definitions to help TypeScript developers use the 'which' package with type safety.
Type definitions for finding an executable in the path
This code sample demonstrates how to use the 'which' package with TypeScript type definitions provided by @types/which. It attempts to locate the 'node' executable in the system path and prints its location or an error if not found.
import which from 'which';
which('node', (err, resolvedPath) => {
if (err) {
console.error('Node executable not found');
return;
}
console.log('Node executable located at:', resolvedPath);
});find-exec is a package that provides similar functionality to 'which', allowing users to find the path of executables in the system path. Unlike @types/which, find-exec does not require separate type definitions as it may already include TypeScript support or be used in a JavaScript context.
locate-path is another package that helps in finding paths of files or directories based on given criteria. While it serves a broader purpose compared to 'which', it can be used to achieve similar results. It differs from @types/which in that it is not specifically focused on executables and does not provide TypeScript types out of the box.
