Why ?

The original code of this is from the barelyhuman/wrap package and is being extracted into a sub package in case someone else would like to manage dependencies dynamically.

The sole purpose for the existence of this is to avoid having to install deps that the user might already have installed. This reduces duplication of dependencies. There is no version check right now which can be counterproductive but that's in the pipeline.

Demo

You can setup an empty node package and start by adding wrap to it and running npx wrap build to see the installer in action.

or if this short video works for you, then that.

$ npm init -y
$ npm i -D @barelyhuman/wrap
# edit package.json to have a "source" and "main" field
$ npx wrap # will install rollup and other deps in devDeps
# or
$ npx wrap -f # will install standard in devDeps

Install

$ npm i depdown
# or if you use yarn
$ yarn add depdown

Usage

import { depdown } from "depdown";

async function main() {
  await depdown(["standard"], { mode: "dev" });
}

API

depdown: (deps: string[],options: Options) => Promise<void>;

• deps - String of package names to be installed
• options
  • mode - enum dev | direct | peer (default: dev) - where to install the packages in the package.json dependency tree
