Find executables installed locally by npm, yarn, composer, stack, pip, gem...
When we use packages like flycheck, company, lsp we often install the tools locally in a specific version using a package manager. These packages often only look for a globally installed executable which might not be what we want.
This package provides a uniform interface for setting up paths to executables installed locally (meaning not system-wide).
To find the flow
binary installed by npm
or yarn
, use
(find-local-executable-nodejs "flow")
You can substitute "flow"
with any binray you want.
The general pattern is:
(defun find-local-executable-PLATFORM (binary &optional use-global-fallback))
On top of that, we support many popular packages out of the box. For
example, to set up paths for packages relying on "flow"
in nodejs,
use:
(find-local-executable-nodejs-setup-flow)
This will configure paths for (among others)
company-flow-executable
flow-minor-default-binary
flycheck-javascript-flow-coverage-executable
flycheck-javascript-flow-executable
lsp-clients-flow-server
The general pattern is
(defun find-local-executable-PLATFORM-setup-BINARY ())
