Ensure that node is run as the correct version, and uses --harmony, if needed
Ensure that your Node.js CLI apps are loaded with the correct Node version based on engines.node
in package.json, and with --harmony if needed.
As simple as can be:
{
"engines": {
"node": "=0.11.13"
}
}
File app.js:
#!/usr/bin/env node
var harmony = require('./harmonious');
harmony('./lib/cli');
harmonious
will ensure that regardless of how you invoke your app,
harmony
extensions will be loaded. These will all work:
$ ./app
$ node app
$ node --harmony app
$ n use 0.11.13 app
Say you have a global bin
you want to use:
{
"bin": {
"myapp": "app.js"
}
}
You don't have to worry about trying to shove --harmony
somewhere:
$ sudo myapp
$ sudo node myapp
