@pnpm/os.env.path-extender

A module for adding a new directory to the PATH environment variable

Usage

This adds a PNPM_HOME environment variable with the specified directory. And prepends the value of PNPM_HOME to the Path:

import { addDirToEnvPath } from '@pnpm/os.env.path-extender'

await addDirToEnvPath('C:\\pnpm', {
  // This is optional as 'start' is the default value.
  // You may also use 'end'
  position: 'start',
  // This is the name of the additional env variable that holds the directory.
  // If not set, no additional env variable is used.
  proxyVarName: 'PNPM_HOME',
  // If PNPM_HOME already exist, overwrite it
  overwrite: true,
  configSectionName: 'pnpm',
})
//> PNPM_HOME=C:\pnpm
//  Path=%PNPM_HOME%;C:\foo;C:\bar

This prepends C:\pnpm to the Path without creating an additional environment variable:

import { addDirToEnvPath } from '@pnpm/os.env.path-extender'

await addDirToEnvPath('C:\\pnpm', { configSectionName: 'pnpm' })
//> Path=C:\pnpm;C:\foo;C:\bar
