# pkg-install

> Easier installation of Node.js packages irrespective of the platform or package manager.

- Supports [npm](https://www.npmjs.com) and [yarn](https://www.yarnpkg.com)

- Easy to use promise-based API

- Uses [`execa`](https://www.npm.im/execa) under the hood

## Installation

```bash

npm install pkg-install

```

## Usage

### Install a set of known dependencies to a project

```js

const { install } = require('pkg-install');

(async () => {

  const { stdout } = await install(

    {

      twilio: '^3.1',

      'node-env-run': '~1',

      'pkg-install': undefined,

    },

    {

      dev: true,

      prefer: 'npm',

    }

  );

  console.log(stdout);

})();

```

### Run a project install of dependencies

```js

const { projectInstall } = require('pkg-install');

(async () => {

  const { stdout } = await projectInstall({

    prefer: 'yarn',

  });

  console.log(stdout);

})();

```

### Documentation

Full documentation of available functions and configuration can be found on:

[pkg-install.dkundel.com](https://pkg-install.dkundel.com/modules/pkg_install.html)

## Known Issues

### 1. Disparity in supported flags

At the current moment `yarn` has no equivalent flags for `--save-bundle` or `--no-save`. These will be ignored when `yarn` has been detected as package manager.

The flags that were ignored in the run are returned as the `ignoredFlags` property.

### 2. Different behavior of modifying `package.json`

This library uses `npm` and `yarn` under the hood and currently `npm install` and `yarn add` have different behaviors when passing versions to the package names

For example

```bash

npm install twilio^3.1 node-env-run~1 pkg-install

```

Will result in the following dependencies in the `package.json`:

```json

"dependencies": {

  "node-env-run": "^1.0.1",

  "pkg-install": "^0.1.1",

  "twilio": "^3.28.1"

}

```

While:

```bash

yarn add twilio@^3.1 node-env-run@~1 pkg-install

```

Will result in the following dependencies in the `package.json`:

```json

"dependencies": {

  "node-env-run": "~1",

  "pkg-install": "^0.1.1",

  "twilio": "^3.1"

}

```
