node-modules-path
This plugin listens to pwd updates and searches for a node_modules directory in current directory and upwards. For the first node_modules folder found (the deepest one), we automatically add its .bin folder to PATH (node_modules/.bin).
motivation
We try to keep project dependencies as isolated as possible and we avoid
installing them globally to our machines. One such dependency is
Flow. Text editors with Flow extensions search for the flow
binary on path. Thus, before opening our editor, we must first remember to add
the project's node_module/.bin folder to path.
The reason we created this plugin was automate this step to safe little time when doing our development.
example
➜ ~ tree ~/project
/Users/hlysig/project
├── node_modules
│ └── flow
...
├── package.json
├── src
│ └── server
│ └── index.js
└── yarn.lock
➜ ~ cd ~/project/src/server
Found node_modules in /Users/hlysig/project, adding to path
➜ server which flow
/Users/hlysig/project/node_modules/.bin/flow
requirements
This plugin uses Python and works with Python 2.6 and upwards.
