Node Tool Wrapper

Some OSS projects have a README that says what version of Node to download and what version of npm/yarn/pnpm/etc. to use.

Some projects have no information and leave you to guess.

This project is inspired by Gradle’s Wrapper.

Example

1. Download .ntw.sh to your project’s root directory.

2. Create a yarnw script that looks like this:

   #!/bin/bash
   
   . .ntw.sh
   
   selectNode v16.13.1
   selectTool yarn 1.22.17
   
   exec yarn "$@"

   This will download the chosen node for your platform. Then it will download yarn the version of yarn you choose. ./yarnw will function exactly like yarn.

   Optionally, you can add this before sourcing .ntw.sh if you have a corporate proxy.

   export NTW_NODE_DIST_URL=https://artifactory.mycompany.comp/nodejs-dist

   You can check in yarnw and .ntw.sh to your VCS.

   curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rahulsom/node-tool-wrapper/main/.ntw.sh -o .ntw.sh
   curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rahulsom/node-tool-wrapper/main/yarnw -o yarnw
   chmod +x .ntw.sh yarnw
