Issue:
npm install or npm ci keeps throwing a ton of errors
Then I realize I am on a different version of node
Instead of remembering about it, checking if .nvmrc file exists, then switching to that node version, let nvm use do it all the work for you.
I use .zsh shell, so I used this script from nvm-sh#zsh docs
# place this after nvm initialization!
autoload -U add-zsh-hook
load-nvmrc() {
local node_version="$(nvm version)"
local nvmrc_path="$(nvm_find_nvmrc)"
if [ -n "$nvmrc_path" ]; then
local nvmrc_node_version=$(nvm version "$(cat "${nvmrc_path}")")
if [ "$nvmrc_node_version" = "N/A" ]; then
nvm install
elif [ "$nvmrc_node_version" != "$node_version" ]; then
nvm use
fi
elif [ "$node_version" != "$(nvm version default)" ]; then
echo "Reverting to nvm default version"
nvm use default
fi
}
add-zsh-hook chpwd load-nvmrc
load-nvmrc
Result:
Blissss. I don't have to ever (hopefully) think about what version of node is currently used when I switch between projects.
