# package-changed

This package is a quick and easy way of figuring out whether or not `package.json` has been modified.

It contains mainly code extracted from [install-changed](https://github.com/ninesalt/install-changed).

`install-changed` will run `npm install` when dependencies have changed. `package-changed` also provides this functionality. However, it does give you **more control** on what should happen when dependencies in your package.json file have changed.

## Install

You can find this package on `npm` and can install it with:

`npm install package-changed`

However, you can use it without having to install it using `npx`:

`npx package-changed`

## Documentation

### CLI

Use **package-changed** simply by running following from your project root:

`npx package-changed`

This is, in fact, a shorthand for the following commands:

`npx package-changed run "npm install"`

or if you have an **environmental variable** `CI` with value set to `true` then it will run:

`npx package-changed run "npm ci"`

However, using the `run` command you can specify any command which you want to run in case your dependencies have changed since the last run.

```
npx package-changed run "echo 'Run any command when your package has changed'"
```

#### All CLI options

**package-changed**

```
Options:
--cwd [cwd] Current working directory.
--hash-filename [filename] Filename where hash of dependencies will be written to
--lockfile Include package versions from package-lock.json in hash
--no-hash-file Skip writing new hash to .packagehash file
-h, --help display help for command

Commands:
run [command]
install [options]
help [command] display help for command
```

**package-changed install**

```
Usage: package-changed install [options]

Options:
--ci Run 'npm ci' instead of 'npm i'. Even when package is not changed. Default when env.CI=true
-r, --registry npm registry url to use
-h, --help display help for command
```

**package-changed run**

```
Usage: package-changed run [options] [command]

Options:
-h, --help display help for command
```

#### Use git hooks to run **package-changed** automatically

**package-changed** can be run automatically with git hooks, for example: when switching branches. [Husky](https://github.com/typicode/husky) is a popular choice for configuring git hooks.

With Husky installed:

```shell
npx husky add .husky/post-checkout "npx --no package-changed"
npx husky add .husky/post-merge "npx --no package-changed"
npx husky add .husky/post-rebase "npx --no package-changed"
```

### Javascript API

```javascript
isPackageChanged(
options?: PackageChangedOptions,
callback?: (result: PackageChangedCallbackResult) => Promise,
): Promise;
```

#### Example usage
```javascript
const {
isPackageChanged
} = require('package-changed')

// run with default options
const {
isChanged,
} = isPackageChanged();

// or run with custom options
const {
isChanged,
writeHash,
} = await isPackageChanged({
hashFilename: '.packagehash',
});

if (isChanged) {
// dependencies in your package.json have changed since last run
...
// call writeHash to write the latest package hash to your disk
writeHash();
}

// or use the callback argument
isPackageChanged(
undefined, // using default options
({isChanged}) => {
// ...

return true; // or false if you don't want the hash to be written
},
);
```
