corepack project install command? #505
Description
Activity
This would be really nice.
I think I would take it a step further so I could also run
removeor any other subcommand of a given package manager.Maybe something like
corepack --project <subcommand>, for example:corepack --project init corepack --project install corepack --project add foobar corepack --project remove foobarReacted by Misha KaletskyI like that. Maybe
projectitself could be a command, andinstall/add/removesubcommands, sincecorepack --project installwould now be a pretty different thing fromcorepack install.corepack project xreads a bit nicer, and makes clear that you're scoping down what you're doing to the project-level.So:
corepack project install corepack project add left-pad corepack project remove right-padReacted by Alex Godoy Wolff, Steven, Eli, Daniel Bayley, nranganath-cg and ruan-catReacted by Steven and ruan-cat- changed the title

Currently, there's no standardized way to install dependencies for projects using different package managers without prior knowledge of the specific manager used. This can complicate CI/CD pipelines, development scripts, and workflows for developers working across multiple projects.
It would be nice to be able to write a script that will do
npm install/pnpm install/yarn installon arbitrary packages, without having to know in advance what theirpackageManagerfield says.Proposal - a
--projectparameter added to theinstallcommand:This would change
installto install the project/node_modules rather than the package manager itself. (Or could be a separate command or something).For a project with
"packageManager": "pnpm@9.4.0"thecorepack install --projectcommand would be equivalent to running(called via a subshell)
Or for a project with
"packageManager": "npm@10.1.0"this would be equivalent toSimilar for yarn, etc.
Benefits
Other notes:
packageManageris present, of usingnpm, or looking for lockfiles, or just erroring--likecorepack install --project -- --no-frozend-lockfile(though this would no longer really be generic across package managers I guess)corepack add left-padNot sure if this has been asked before but I couldn't find it in the issues.
