preferred-pm
Advanced tools
The preferred-pm npm package is designed to detect and suggest the preferred package manager for a given project. It checks for lock files such as package-lock.json, yarn.lock, or pnpm-lock.yaml to determine which package manager was previously used with the project and suggests using the same one for consistency.
Detecting preferred package manager
This feature allows you to detect the preferred package manager for the current project by analyzing the lock files present in the project directory. The code sample demonstrates how to use the package to find and log the preferred package manager.
const preferredPM = require('preferred-pm');
(async () => {
const pm = await preferredPM(process.cwd());
if (pm) {
console.log(`The preferred package manager is ${pm.name}`);
} else {
console.log('No preferred package manager found');
}
})();
This package can be used to detect which package manager executes the current process. It is similar to preferred-pm in that it helps identify the package manager in use, but it does so at runtime rather than by checking lock files.
This package provides a way to check if the correct package manager is being used based on a configuration file. It is similar to preferred-pm in ensuring consistency in package manager usage but uses a different approach by relying on a config file.
