local-npm-bin.vim

Prefer local repo install of eslint, flow, etc over global install

Thanks to @mtscout6 for the syntastic version as inspiration, and @ohjames for performance improvements.

Installation Instructions

Using vim plugged you just need to add the following to your vimrc:

Plug 'benjie/local-npm-bin.vim'

Then open vim and run :PlugInstall

Contributing

The following enable local eslint for neomake, and local flow for vim-flow. Anything this simple to add equivalent variables for other plugins would be welcome.

let b:neomake_javascript_eslint_exe = GetNpmBin('eslint')
let g:flow#flowpath = GetNpmBin('flow')

If you've got other thoughts, PRs are welcome but I'm trying to keep this really simple - so nothing too complex!
