npm-link-check
CLI utility that checks whether a project's current node modules tree contains npm-link'ed packages.
So that you don't build a distributed bundle containing linked packages ever again!
npm-link-check even works with npm scoped packages. Big ups @Istenes for that PR :beers:
Install
1# for CLI use: 2npm install -g npm-link-check 3 4# for npm-script use: 5npm install npm-link-check
Usage
CLI
1# to check current working directory 2npm-link-check 3 4# to check arbitrary project 5npm-link-check path/to/project/root
npm-link-check will log something like:
Some npm-link\'ed packaged were found:
- package dummy (at node_modules/dummy) is linked
and exit with code 1 if one or many packages npm-link'ed are found. Big ups to @c-eliasson for cleaning that up!
As a pre-version check
In this era of bundled and transpiled javascript, it is common for projects to
build a distributed version when running the npm version task. Using npm-link-check, the
often neglected check for npm-link'ed packages can automated as follow:
In your project's package.json, add:
1{ 2 "scripts": { 3 "preversion": "npm-link-check" 4 } 5}
making npm-link-check run on npm version before your package's version is
bumped. If an npm-link'ed package if found, the npm version task will be
aborted.
