Package Exports

local_modules

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (local_modules) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

local_modules

embeddable npm local_modules

With local_modules you can develop your node.js library code in your application, as if they were node_modules published on npm.

Benefits

your module contains all it's dependencies
your application's package.json does not get bloated.
you can publish your application that contains local_modules
the local_modules dependencies get installed
your local_modules do not have inside the node_modules directory.
it supports your development workflow and installs local_modules as local npm modules.

install

npm i -g local_modules

use

you can use local_modules from the code in node.js or via command line.

If you wan't to publish your module that contains local_modules to npm, you can add this script to your package.json.

  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "lm install",
    ...
   }

command line

lm -h

*lm* helps you to deal with local npm modules.
It installs local modules and it's dependencies, e.g. useful in production,
and links them to have always up to date modules e.g. during development.

Usage: lm <command> [options]

lm -h      show help
lm -v      print lm version

Commands:

install    temporary adds the local module to the package.json, runs `npm install`, and removes them from package.json again.
uninstall  removes the local modules from the package.json, and runs `npm prune`, to remove the unneeded but installed modules.
link       links the local modules into the `node_modules` folder.
unlink     removes links of the local modules inside the `node_modules` folder.
add        adds the local modules to the package.json
remove     removes the local modules from the package.json

Options:
--dir      local module dirname default:`local_modules`
--tmp      temporary package.json file ending during install
--force    forced action: remove stuff, before copying or linking

# example
// install local modules in "./lib" directory
lm install --dir lib

code

// install example
var lm = require('local_modules');
lm({cmd: 'install', dir: 'lib'});
