raea add

Add, remove and install npm packages for a project, with no Node or npm: raea.lock and node_modules.

A composition can import npm packages. raea add resolves them, fetches each tarball once into a store every project shares (~/.raea/npm/store, checked against the registry's hash) and lays out node_modules the way pnpm does. The resolution is kept in raea.lock beside package.json, so an install with nothing new asks the registry nothing.

Terminal
raea add d3-shape@^3 culori
raea add --dev @types/d3-shape
raea remove culori
raea install --offline

Install scripts never run, since there is no Node to run them; a package that needs one is named in the report.

Usage

Terminal
raea add PKG[@RANGE]... [--dev] | remove NAME... | install [--offline]  [--in DIR]   (npm packages for the project: raea.lock, node_modules)

Headless: it needs nothing running and opens no window. Takes any number of arguments besides its flags.

Flags

FlagTakesWhat it does
--dev–Add the packages as dev dependencies.
--inDIRThe project folder holding package.json (the current folder by default).
--offline–With install: use only what raea.lock and the store already have, asking the registry nothing.
