Auto resolving local Node.js binaries in VS Code terminal.

Auto NPX

Auto resolving local Node.js binaries in VS Code terminal.

Usage

When you have packages installed locally, just call it without npx! (and you don't need to install them globally anymore)

- $ npx vite
+ $ vite

- $ npx jest
+ $ jest

- $ npx -p typescript tsc
+ $ tsc

- $ npx -p webpack-cli webpack
+ $ webpack

How

When you open up a terminal in VS Code, this extension injects PATH env variable with the local Node.js binaries.

export PATH=$PWD/node_modules/.bin:$PATH

And that's it!

The PATH modification will only affect the current session so no worries about your other environments.
