libdir-binlinks-cfg-linker-pmb

An npm postinstall helper for installing symlinks according to binlinks.cfg, a more compact notation than the package.json bin field.

API

This package is not intended to be used as a JS module.

Usage

In your package.json, add this module as a dependency, and set your postinstall script like this:

{ "name": "some-package",
  "dependencies": {
    "…": "…"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "node -r libdir-binlinks-cfg-linker-pmb"
  }
}

Fallback sed script

Need a shim for environments where npm isn't easily available? (e.g. embedded device with just busybox and too few space for node.js)

src/binlinks.minimal.sed should help with at least the simple cases.

Known issues

• When testing your postinstall script, you can add --no-save to your npm install command to make it not reformat your package.json.
• Needs more/better tests and docs.
