# ↬ Node nvm-switcher
Automatically switch node versions through nvm based on package.json recommended engine version.
## How to install
- First of all, make sure you have `NVM` installed:
- Windows: [nvm-windows repo](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows)
- Linux/Mac: [nvm repo](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)
- Clone this repository into any folder you'd like:
- `git clone https://github.com/Nick-Gabe/nvm-switcher.git`
- Install the code in your shell:
- Check what is the configuration file of your shell, for example `.zshrc`, `.bashrc`, `$profile`...
- Add the following line to the end of it: `nvm use $(node /nvm-switcher)`
- Replace `` by the directory the repository is in.
After all those steps, once you open a shell, it will automatically execute the `nvm-switcher` command and find the optimal version for you.

## Why make the code in Javascript?
Since we're talking about node versions, you should already have node in your system,
therefore using `javascript` provides a more understandable code and easier API than
`bash` for example.
But this might change at some point, due to `javascript` not being the most optimal
language in terms of speed for this kind of operation which requires running terminal commands.
