Node-Venv - Simplify Node.js Environment Management

Overview

Node-Venv is an npm package designed to streamline Node.js environment management on Linux-based systems. With Node-Venv, you can effortlessly set the desired Node.js version for your projects using NVM (Node Version Manager) automatically. No more manual interventions or repetitive 'nvm use' commands. Node-Venv simplifies your Node.js development workflow, making it more convenient and efficient.

Installation

To get started with Node-Venv, you need to install it globally on your system. Open your terminal and run the following command:

npm install -g node-venv

Usage

Node-Venv provides two main commands to help you manage your Node.js environment: set and activate.

1. Setting Node.js Version

Use the set command to specify the Node.js version you want for your project. This will create or update a .nvmrc file in the current directory with your desired semantic version. To set the required Node.js version, run the following command:

node-venv set <semantic_version>

Replace <semantic_version> with the specific version you need, such as "14.17.6" or "16.9.0."

2. Activating Node-Venv

After you've set your Node.js version with the set command, you can activate Node-Venv to ensure that the specified version is used in your terminal session without manually running 'nvm use' each time.

To activate Node-Venv, run the following command:

node-venv activate

This command will update your .bashrc (or equivalent) file to use the Node.js version you previously set or the default version, making it convenient to work with the appropriate Node.js environment.

Uninstallation

If you ever wish to uninstall Node-Venv, you can use the following command:

npm uninstall -g node-venv
