## Getting Started
When switching between JavaScript projects, it's often easy to forget which package manager should be used. JavaScript package managers aren't quite compatible either and each one resolves dependencies differently, so accidentally installing with [`npm`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/) could cause a [`yarn`](https://yarnpkg.com/) (classic or berry), [`pnpm`](https://pnpm.io/) or [`bun`](https://bun.sh/) project to break.
`swpm` is a CLI that intends to solve this problem by unifying the most used commands for the most common Node Package Managers into one. It will recognize the Package Manager used on the project and automatically will translate those commands.
This is an example of how #swpm works. The same command, no matter the package manager used on the project.
> **Note**:
> We will start with most used command, then other commands will be added gradually.
> Track the command progress implementation on [CHEATSHEET](CHEATSHEET.md).
>
> Progress: **90%** of commands included.
### Prerequisites

### Commands
#### Install
By default, will install all modules listed as dependencies in `package.json`.
```bash
swpm install [args]
```
> Alias: `i`
This command installs a package and any packages that it depends on. If the package has a `lock` file, the installation of dependencies will be driven by that.
| Args | Alias | Description |
| ---------------- | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `--frozen` | `-F` | install dependencies from lock file (without updating it). Also known as `ci` |
| `--package-lock` | `-P` | install dependencies but don't read or generate a lockfile |
> **Warning**:
> The `--package-lock` argument is not available on **bun** Package Manager.
#### Add
This command, no arguments, will add a package to local `package.json` file. Package will appear as **dependencies** by default.
```bash
swpm add [args]

| `--global` | `-g` | Remove the current package context as a global package |
#### Remove
This command, no arguments, will remove a package to local `package.json` file. Package will be removed as **dependencies** by default.

| `--global` | `-g` | Remove the current package context as a global package |
#### Update
This command will update all the packages listed to the latest version (specified by the `tag` config), respecting the semver constraints of both your package and its dependencies (if they also require the same package). It will also install missing packages.
```bash
swpm update [] [args]
```
> Aliases: `up`, `ud`
| Args | Alias | Description |
| ----------------- | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

**Examples:**
Assuming that the current path is `/path/to/project`, with `--explorer` it will open the path in the file explorer:
| Command | Alias | Path |
| --------------------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------- |
| `swpm open --explorer` | `soe` | `/path/to/project` |
| `swpm open --explorer .` | `soe .` | `/path/to/project` |
| `swpm open --explorer subfolder` | `soe subfolder` | `/path/to/project/subfolder` |
| `swpm open --explorer ..` | `soe ..` | `/path/to` |
| `swpm open --explorer ...` | `soe ...` | `/path` |
| `swpm open --explorer ../another` | `soe ../another` | `/path/to/another` |
| `swpm open --explorer /` | `soe /` | `/` (only on unixish OS) |
| `swpm open --explorer ~` | `soe ~` | `~` (only on unixish OS) |
Assuming the current branch is `new-feat`, with `--diff` will open the diff comparison in the browser:
| Command | Alias | Diff |
| --------------------------- |-------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `swpm open --diff` |`sgd` | `dev` branch vs `new-feat` branch |

| `swpm open --diff f92fbcf8` |`sgd f92fbcf8` | `f92fbcf8` commit hash vs `new-feat` branch |
| `swpm open --diff v1.0.0` |`sgd v1.0.0` | `v1.0.0` tag vs `new-feat` branch |
Assuming you have generated a coverage report, with `--coverage` it will open the report in the browser:
| Command | Alias | File Path |
| ------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `swpm open --coverage` | `soc` | `/path/to/project/coverage/index.html` |
| `swpm open --coverage .` | `soc .` | Fails (also need the file name) |
| `swpm open --coverage ./index.html` | `soc ./index.html` | `/path/to/project/index.html` |

| `swpm open --npm typescript` |`son typescript` | `https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript` |
#### Clean
This command does not exist in the package managers, but is one of the most repetitive tasks, deleting files and folders. Very useful, for example, in scenarios where you want to change completely the Package Manager.
```bash
swpm clean [args]
```
> Alias: `c`
| Args | Alias | Description |
| ----------------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `--modules` | | **node_modules**, **.yarn/cache**, **.yarn/unplugged** folders and **.pnp\*** files |
| `--lock` | | **lock** files |
| `--log` | | **log** files |
| `--build` | | **build** folder |
| `--coverage` | | **coverage** folder |
| `--fresh` | | Run all args except `--lock` |
| `--all` | | Run all args and also delete the **.yarn** folder |
> `--fresh` is a good choice when you want to clean the project and reinstall all packages again with `swpm install --frozen` and preserving the lock files intact.
> `--all` is a good choice when you want to clean the project and migrate to a different Package Manager or reinstalling all packages and create/update the lock files.

### Shared Commands
There are commands that don't need the `swpm` translation tool, because share the same structure as all package managers.
#### Init
`init` or `create` can be used to set up a new or existing package.
```bash
swpm init [--yes]
swpm create []
```
> To run these commands in a path where a `package.json` didn't exist add the flag `--use ` at the end or setup an `SWPM` environment variable.
#### Login/Logout
Login and logout to [https://www.npmjs.com/](https://www.npmjs.com/).
Commonly used when you need to publish or admin packages.
```bash
swpm login
swpm logout
```
> To run these commands in a path where a `package.json` didn't exist add the flag `--use ` at the end or setup an `SWPM` environment variable.
#### Scripts
This runs an arbitrary command from a package's "scripts" object.
If no "command" is provided, it will list the available scripts.
```bash
swpm run []
swpm test
swpm build
```
> You can run `test` and `build` "scripts" without the `run` prefix.
#### Publish
Commands to `pack`, `publish`, `unpublish` or `deprecate` a package on [https://www.npmjs.com/](https://www.npmjs.com/).
```bash
swpm pack
swpm pack --pack-destination
swpm publish
swpm unpublish
swpm deprecate
```
#### Config
See the local configuration, or setup default values.
```bash
swpm config list
swpm config set
```
Example:
```bash
swpm config set save-exact true
swpm config set save-prefix '~'
```
> To run these commands in a path where a `package.json` didn't exist add the flag `--use ` at the end.
#### Versions
`outdated` will check the registry to see if any (or, specific) installed packages are currently outdated.
```bash
swpm outdated [] [--global]
```
> To run this commands in a path where a `package.json` didn't exist with flag `--global` add the flag `--use ` at the end or setup an `SWPM` environment variable.

## Flags
Flags are important to `swpm` and `swpx` because can modify or set his behavior.
### Use
The `<swpm|swpx> --use` flag allows you to choose your Package Manager for a project.
```bash
swpm <command> [args] --use <npm|yarn[@berry]|pnpm|bun>
swpx <command> [args] -u <npm|yarn[@berry]|pnpm|bun>
```
It will run the command using the selected Package Manager, no matter the `swpm` property in your `package.json`.
> **Info**:
> Previously it will ask to run the set command when use `yarn`:
> `yarn set version classic` for `yarn`
> `yarn set version berry` for `yarn@berry`
### Pin
The `swpm --pin` flag allows you to choose your Package Manager for a project.
```bash
swpm --pin <npm|yarn[@berry]|pnpm|bun>
swpm -p <npm|yarn[@berry]|pnpm|bun>
```
It will store the pinned Package Manager in the `package.json` file, so you can commit your choice of tools to version control:
```diff
{
+ "swpm": "<package-manager-name>"
}
```
> **Info**:
> Additionally it will ask to run the set command when pin `yarn`:
> `yarn set version classic` for `yarn`
> `yarn set version berry` for `yarn@berry`
You also can set it manually. Just take care writing a valid Package Manager: `npm`, `yarn[@berry]`, `pnpm` or `bun`. And also remember to run the set command for `yarn` projects.
### Unpin
The `swpm --unpin` flag allows you to remove the current pinned Package Manager for a project.
```bash
swpm --unpin
```
It will remove the pinned Package Manager in the `package.json` file.
### Test
The `<swpm|swpx> --test` flag show the equivalent command using the selected Package Manager, but **it will not run the command**
```bash
swpm <command> [args] --test <npm|yarn[@berry]|pnpm|bun>
swpm <command> [args] -t <npm|yarn[@berry]|pnpm|bun>
swpx <command> -t <npm|yarn[@berry]|pnpm|bun>
```
It will show the command using the selected Package Manager, no matter the `swpm` property in your `package.json`.
### Mute
The `<swpm|swpx> --mute` flag hide the package manager command translation.
```bash
swpm <command> [args] --mute
swpx <command> [args] --mute
```
### Alias
The `<swpm|swpx> --alias` flag show the command aliases available.
```bash
swpm --alias
swpx --alias
```
### Info
The `<swpm|swpx> --info` flag show the current Package Manager used and some versions information.
```bash
swpm --info
swpx --info
```
It will search firs the `swpm` property on the `package.json` file, and if doesn't not found it, will try to infer the Package Manager in use with help of the `lock`'s file.

### Default
You can set a default or **global** pin Package Manager in order to avoid the `--use` flag on paths where no exist a `package.json` or `--pin` flag on each project.
Create an `SWPM` environment variable with one of this values `<npm|yarn[@berry]|pnpm|bun>`.
| OS | Command |
| ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| win | `setx SWPM "<npm\|yarn[@berry]\|pnpm\|bun>"` |
| macOS | `echo 'export SWPM="<npm\|yarn[@berry]\|pnpm\|bun>"' >> <~/.bash_profile\|~/.zshrc>` |
| linux | `echo 'export SWPM="<npm\|yarn[@berry]\|pnpm\|bun>"' >> <~/.bash_profile\|~/.zshrc>` |

## FAQ
### How infer the Package Manager?
`swpm` and `swpx` search some characteristics following this order.
| Icon | Stage |
| :--: | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 📌 | Search the `swpm` property pinned on `package.json` file |
| 📦 | Search the `packageManager` property on `package.json` file |
| 🔒 | Search for a `lock` file |
| 🌐 | Search a `SWPM` environment variable |
### What can I use as Package parameter?
The `<package>` parameter should follow one of these structures:
```bash
[<@scope>/]<name>
[<@scope>/]<name>@<tag>
[<@scope>/]<name>@<version>
[<@scope>/]<name>@<version range>
<alias>@npm:<name>
<git-host>:<git-user>/<repo-name>
<git repo url>
<tarball file>
<tarball url>
<folder>
```
### Monorepos
`swpm` is compatible with monorepos. You can run it from any subdirectory and it will search upwards until it finds the closest `package.json` and `lock` file.
### Non documented commands
`swpm` is not restrictive, if a command translations was not included yet, you can write the command as the package manager expect, then `swpm` will try to infer the package manager and preserve the rest of the command and arguments without changes and run them.
But, if you found one of this cases, please open a [command compatibility](https://github.com/deinsoftware/swpm/issues/new?assignees=&labels=command-request&template=command-compatibility.md&title=) issue.
