Globaller
Create global modules on your machine without having to npm pack && npm install <local-package>
Why? When I'm writing node.js CLI applications, I like to test out running the package globally. It's convenient to just type my-cli instead of having to navigate to the bin.
Installation
npm install --global globaller
Usage
- Navigate to the directory of your global module that you are developing
- Run
globaller - Now run your global module anywhere on the system
If your module is named mycli, Globaller will create a symlink mycli-<postfix>. You can specify a postfix by running globaller -p test, which will create mycli-test, otherwise the default postfix is dev. By default, mycli-dev will be generated.
