npm and yarn versions that respect your environment provided node.

Primary LanguageNix

nodejs-flake

npm, yarn and pnpm versions that respect your environment provided node.

Assuming:

  • You have a /usr/bin/env;
  • You want a nix flake package of npm, yarn or pnpm;
  • You want a fixed, specific version of npm, yarn or pnpm, that is not the one bundled in your nodejs package;
  • You want that the fixed version of npm, yarn or pnpm to use the same node that you have on your $PATH environment;
  • You somehow locked your node somewhere else:
    • nix flakes;
    • jetpack-io/devbox;
    • volta;
    • pnpm;

This might fit your bill.

Usage

Pick your npm/yarn/pnpm version. Because of limitations on nixpkgs pnames, periods and the at sign are underlines.

# let's assume you need npm@9.9.2
# npm@9.9.2 -> npm-9.9.2 -> npm-9_9_2

# probably a terrible idea:
nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' profile install 'github:empjustine/nodejs-flake/v2#npm-9_9_2'

# a better idea
devbox add 'github:empjustine/nodejs-flake/v2#npm-9_9_2'
