Different with NPM

This project is inspired by pnpm, and has a similar store structure like pnpm. You can read pnpm vs npm to see the different with npm.

Limitations

  • You can't install from shrinkwrap(and don't want to support for now).
  • Peer dependencies are a little trickier to deal with(see rule 1 below).
  • You can't publish npm modules with bundleDependencies managed by npminstall(because of rule 2 below).
  • npminstall will collect all postinstall scripts, and execute them until all dependencies installed.
  • If last install failed, better to cleanup node_modules directory before retry.

node_modules directory

Two rules:

  1. The latest version of modules will link at options.storeDir's node_modules.
  2. Module's dependencies will link at module's node_modules.

e.g.:

  • app: { "dependencies": { "debug": "2.2.0" } } (root)
  • debug@2.2.0: { "dependencies": { "ms": "0.7.1" } }
app/
├── package.json
└── node_modules
    ├── .2.2.0@debug
    │   ├── node_modules
    │   │   └── ms -> ../../.0.7.1@ms
    ├── .0.7.1@ms
    ├── debug -> .2.2.0@debug
    └── ms -> .0.7.1@ms # for peerDependencies 

flattened vs nested

npminstall will always try to install the maximal matched version of semver:

root/
  koa@1.1.0
  mod/
    koa@~1.1.0
# will install tow different version of koa when use npminstall.

you can enable flatten mode by --flatten flag, in this mod, npminstall will try to use ancestors' dependencies to minimize the dependence-tree.

root/
  koa@1.1.0
  mod/
    koa@~1.1.0

root/
  koa@1.1.0
  mod/
    koa@^1.1.0
# both the same version: 1.1.0

root/
  koa@~1.1.0
  mod/
    koa@^1.1.0
# both the same version: 1.1.2

root/
  mod/
    koa@^1.1.0
  moe/
    koa@~1.1.0
# tow different versions

npminstall will always treat n.x and n.m.x as flattened

root/
  koa@1.1.0
  mod/
    koa@1.1.x
both the same version: 1.1.0

root/
  koa@~1.1.0
  mod/
    koa@1.x
both the same version: 1.1.2
