@roots/dependencies

Automated package installation

Installation

Install @roots/dependencies to your project.

Yarn:

yarn add @roots/dependencies --dev

npm:

npm install @roots/dependencies --save-dev

Usage

Import the Dependencies manager and instantiate.

The base path is required.

import { Dependencies } from "@roots/dependencies";

const manager = new Dependencies(process.cwd());

Optionally, you may also provide handlers for messages and errors:

import { Dependencies } from "@roots/dependencies";
const manager = new Dependencies(process.cwd(), console.log, console.error);

Create and use a new client:

const client = await manager.getClient();

await this.client.install(`lodash`);
await this.client.uninstall(`lodash`);

Get the latest version of a package:

const version = await this.client.getLatestVersion(`lodash`);

install a specific version with an array or a formatted string ({signifier}@{version}):

await this.client.install([`lodash`, `latest`]);
await this.client.install(`lodash@latest`);

Supports flags:

await this.client.install([`lodash`, `latest`], `--dev`);
