This nodenv plugin hooks into the nodenv install command to automatically install npm packages every time you install a new version of Node.
It requires the node-build plugin to be installed.
Forked from the excellent rbenv-default-gems plugin from sstephenson.
Make sure you have the latest nodenv and node-build versions, then run:
git clone https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv-default-packages.git $(nodenv root)/plugins/nodenv-default-packages
Mac OS X users can install nodenv-default-packages with the Homebrew package manager.
This is the recommended method of installation if you installed nodenv with Homebrew.
$ brew install nodenv/nodenv/nodenv-default-packages
Or, if you would like to install the latest development release:
$ brew install --HEAD nodenv/nodenv/nodenv-default-packages
nodenv-default-packages automatically installs the packages listed in the default-packages file(s) file every time you successfully install a new version of Node with nodenv install.
Specify packages in default-packages by name, one per line.
You may optionally specify a semver version spec after the name. For example:
grunt-cli
jshint ~2.6.3
csslint >= 0.9.0 < 0.10.0
Blank lines and lines beginning with a # are ignored.
nodenv-default-packages reads from $(nodenv root)/default-packages as well as nodenv/default-packages under all XDG config directories.
The XDG config directories searched are $XDG_CONFIG_HOME ($HOME/.config if unset/empty) and all colon-separated $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (/etc/xdg if unset/empty).
if you update your $(nodenv root)/default-packages and want to refresh some or all of your existing node installations you can use commands like this:
nodenv default-packages install 8.8.1 # Reinstall default packages on Node version 8.8.1
nodenv default-packages install --all # Reinstall default packages on _all_ installed Node versions
NOTE: This may take some time.
Forked from Sam Stephenson's rbenv-default-gems by Josh Hagins and modified for nodenv.
