🗽 NY - Fast, Proxy Package Manager for JavaScript
Chooses the right package manager and runtime based on the lockfile
node • yarn • pnpm • bun
## Features
- Universal - Picks the right package manager and runtime based on the lockfile. `npm`, `bun`, `pnpm`, `yarn` - we got you covered!
- Versatile - Handles the basics like installing all your dependencies, adding new packages, and kicking off scripts.
- Speedy - Crafted in Rust to give you a quick ride. When running scripts, it's actually faster than using PMs directly!
- TypeScript-Ready - Adding a new dependency? Don't worry! It'll fetch any missing `@types` packages for you if needed.
## Usage
```sh
ny # installs all dependencies eq. to: yarn install
```
```sh
ny add zod # installs zod package eq. to: yarn add zod
```
```sh
ny test # executes package.json's test script eq. to: yarn test
```
```sh
ny vitest # executes node_modules/.bin binary eq. to: yarn vitest
```
## Installation
### Install script
```sh
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/krzkaczor/ny/main/install.sh | bash
```
### Manually download binary for Linux / Mac Os X
Get the newest release from [releases page](https://github.com/krzkaczor/ny/releases).
## CLI
For full documentation run `ny --help`.
- `ny install` - trigger installing all dependencies. Aliased to: `ny`.
- `ny add package` - add new dependency, supports flags like `--dev` and `--workspace-root`. Will automatically install missing TypeScript `@types` packages.
- `ny run task` - runs a task with a given name or resolves a JS file in `node_modules/bin`. Will use node.js to execute it by default unless bun lockfile is present. Aliased to: `ny task`.
## Dive deeper
### Motivation
In the world of JavaScript, there's a fun mix of package managers - npm, yarn, pnpm. Pick your poison. With a rise of alternative runtimes like Bun or Deno the problem only gets worse. Programmers often switch between projects that use different PMs multiple times a day. Did you just typed `npm` when the project uses `bun`? Well too bad -- you've wasted couple of seconds again. With 🗽NY, there's no guesswork. Just type `ny` and it picks the right package manager and runtime for you. Handy, right?
And here's the kicker: 🗽NY is faster! Especially when running package scripts (like when you type `yarn test`). It's written in Rust and it zips through tasks about ~200ms faster by avoiding spawning node processes just to parse `package.json`. Sweet, huh?
Main sources of inspiration were [antfu/ni](https://github.com/antfu/ni) (but it's written in JS) and [egoist/dum](https://github.com/egoist/dum) (but it's only a task runner).
### TypeScript support
If `ny` detects that it's running in TypeScript enabled package, it will attempt to install missing typings when adding new packages. Right now this behaviour can't be turned off.

### Logo
Logo should depict a statue of liberty (a symbol of New York ;) ) holding tools. Midjourney prompt goes something like: `simple mascot, statue of liberty holding tools, pixelart style`. Later [vectorizer.ai](https://vectorizer.ai) was used to get SVG out of bitmap.
I know it's not perfect and if you figure out a better prompt let me know!
