znvm

makes zsh with nvm fast and more convenient

Features

• Make zsh with nvm faster by loading only if .nvmrc file found or called explicitly
• Automatically calls nvm use if .nvmrc is present.
• If node vesion in .nvmrv is not installed it will automatically call nvm install <node_version>
• Can be configured to load nvm before certain commands are executed on the shell (such as editors and IDEs)

Before installing

Make sure you remove or comment out the following lines from your .zshrc file

# export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
# [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
# [ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion

Installation - automatic

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kasahs/.znvm/master/install.sh | zsh

then open new terminal or use

source ~/.zshrc

Usage

nothing to do here its very natural ;)

• if you wish to use nvm just call it, wait for it to load and then start using it
• if you switch to a dir that has .nvmrc, nvm will automatically load and use node version specified in .nvmrc
• if node version specified in .nvmrc is not installed it will be automatically installed and used
• if you have configured ZNVM_PREEXEC then nvm will be loaded before command executes
