NPM-VersionEnforcer

Preinstall script for NodeJS packages that enforces dependency module versions across multiple projects.

DESCRIPTION

This is designed as a utility script that will automatically enforce module versions across multiple Node projects.

It is intended to be invoked by the preinstall hook of node-install found in a packages.json file.

USAGE

1) Modify the PACKAGES associative array

Inside of the modules.js, modify the RUN function's argument to specify module names as keys with the version as their respective values.

Any package.json dependencies found that match anything found within RUN function's argument will be installed according to the specified version.

2) Add this script into packages.json of your project(s)

...
"scripts" {
			"preinstall": "node ../modules.js"
			...
		}
...

OPTIONAL: You can pass in an array, delimited by commas, to specify modules that should be enforced

...
"scripts" {
			"preinstall": "node ../modules.js mobx,react-scripts,d3"
			...
		}
...

3) Run normal node installs to execute (npm install)
