requiremate to the rescue! hassle free installing of your required modules.

Not sure if you have got too many dependencies in your package.json?

Want to know if the installed version are the defined ones?

to check, run:

requiremate -n

to fix it, run:

requiremate

install

install it globally, you won't regret it. it is really useful for every module you develop.

npm install -g requiremate

usage

1. make sure you have got a package.json
2. write your code (you don't have to do any npm install
3. before you run your code, run: requiremate in the root directory of your project.
4. done.

how does it work

requiremate follows this workfow (taken from code)

 
  series([
     remove,     // 0. optional option remove: remove the whole node_modules folder (just to make sure)
     unused,     // 1. remove unused dependencies from file system and package.json
     install,    // 2. install the defined dependencies
     missing,    // 3. install missing dependencies
     version,    // 4. update package.json with installed version
     done        // 5. say good bye, call callback
  ]);
