Allow local/offline copies of remote dependencies
npm install offline-dependenciesThis tool allows a localDependencies specification in a package.json which
provides a list of packages, that will be downloaded in a local folder in
their packed tgz form (using npm pack) and can be checked in to a repository.
This local package will then be installed into the local source tree.
``
npm i --save-dev offline-dependencies-js
Typical use cases are:
- download a copy of private repositories/packages into the local source tree
for docker/container builds or other build automation purposes where
the credentials are not easily accessible to the build job, but to the
developer.
- copy packages from 3rd party sources into the local source tree to allow
installing those if the source becomes unavailble over time
Show usage of the command (call without arguments to see usage):
local-dependencies
package.json:
`
"localDependencies": {
"localPath": "./npm-deps",
"originalDependencies": {
"wasabi-logger": "git+ssh://git@github.com:some-user/some-package.git#some-branch"
}
}
package.json script target:
`
"scripts": {
"update-local-deps": "local-dependencies install"
}
localPath must be specified, the folder will be created if it doesn't exist. This is where the
packages will be stored and can be checked in with your repo.
originalDependencies follows the same syntax as the regular dependencies property in
the package.json including semver versioned packages, local urls, and 3rd party URLs.
execute the script target:
`
npm run update-local-deps
