CLI that checks whether the current Node version matches the one in package.json or a .nvmrc file.

Installation

npm install -g @steatopygous/correct-node

Usage

Running

correct-node

will either exit with a zero status or exit with a status of -1 and print an error message.

The intended use is within scripts contained in the package.json of an application, to make sure that the current Node matches the one with which the application has been built and tested. For example

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "correct-node && webpack-dev-server"
  }
}

What It Does

The current Node version is checked using the semver NPM module.

If the current folder contains a package.json file containing an engines specification for the node version, like

{
  "engines": {
    "node": ">= 1.2.3 <4.5.6"
  }
}

that is used. Otherwise, if there is a .nvmrc file it is used.

Having both is considered an error.
