yah
###"You Already Have" package manager for node.js
Installation
$ npm install -g yah
What it does
Searches for packages installed throughout the system so you don't have to download them again. It's developed to solve the "I have no internet connection so I can't download my packages" problem.
On the first run
(or "building the package list")
Run yah
:
$ yah
You'll be asked for a workspace directory, like dev
or workspace
(the directory where you put your node projects). If you leave it blank, only the default directory where npm put the globally installed modules will be searched. Then, the program will start searching for node_modules
directories and package.json
files to build up a list with the found modules.
Once the search is finished, the list will be stored in a file called
yah_installed_packages.json
in your home directory.
Searching for installed packages
Once you have the package list, run yah search <package>
and a list with the details of each copy of the package will be displayed.
Example:
$ yah search express
YAH results for express (3 found)
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/meanjs
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/newproject
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/oldproject
You can search for various packages in the same query.
Example:
$ yah search express mongoose
YAH results for express (3 found)
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/meanjs
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/newproject
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/oldproject
YAH results for mongoose (5 found)
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/mongusto
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/hahahaohrly
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/realproject
Adding packages to your project [not working yet]
(or "installing installed modules")
Since the important part of the listing is the package's version, you can run yah install <package>@<version>
and the package with the targeted version will be copyed from the first project listed in the
yah_installed_packages.json
file.
Example:
$ yah install [email protected]
Copying [email protected] from mean.js project
Saving to your package.json
Done!
Listing all installed packages
(or "get my gigantic list of installed packages, please")
You can list all the packages by typing yah list
. Probably a GIANT OUTPUT will be shown. You can (and I recommend) write it to a file, if you want.
Example:
$ yah list
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/meanjs
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/newproject
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/oldproject
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/iamgrunt
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/stabledoge
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/mypromise
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/newproject
[email protected] | /home/user/dev/shouldigo
[and the list goes on]
Writing output to file (or "don't mess with my terminal")
$ yah list >> ~/organized_npd_list_all.txt
Important: don't concat it to yah_installed_packages.json or else your list probably will be doomed and you'll end up having to make another one.
