Meteor advice to run meteor npm ...
instead of npm ...
.
Using the
meteor npm ...
commands in place of traditionalnpm ...
commands is particularly important when using Node.js modules that have binary dependencies that make native C calls (likebcrypt
) because doing so ensures that they are built using the same libaries.
But if you are switching constantly between node projects (with/without meteor) sometimes you may forget to use meteor npm ...
or use it in the wrong place.
Solution
We can create a bash function that will replace npm
and run meteor npm ...
if we have a .meteor
folder in the project.
Edit your shell config file with vim, nano, or vscode. Add this function at the end of the file.
# Add me to shell config file. ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
ORIGINAL_NPM=$(which npm)
npm() {
RED='\033[0;31m'
GREEN='\033[0;92m'
NC='\033[0m' # No Color
if [[ -d .meteor ]]
then
echo "${RED}Meteor project${NC}\nRunning:\n\n\t${GREEN}meteor npm $@${NC}\n";
meteor npm $@
else
eval $ORIGINAL_NPM $@
fi
}
If needed we can also add another function for meteor node
.
