Enable per-package installations #491

Open lencioni opened 6 years ago

lencioni commented 6 years ago

It would be nice if teams could specify a version of import-js they depend on in their package.json, and then have that version be what the editor uses when interacting in that project. This would couple well with #490, where there might be other plugins that are relevant for that project.

I think the trick here would be sorting out how the daemon works and how one might be able to run multiple daemons simultaneously.

The daemon is run by invoking importjs start. If importjs is installed locally, we'd have to figure out a way to run it from within the local node_modules folder instead of invoking that command directly. Something like 

$(npm bin)/importjs start

I guess we need to build into the editor plugins/clients some way of detecting the importjs binary to use. Something like: 

if (file_exists($cwd/node_modules/.bin/importjs)) then
  $cwd/node_modules/.bin/importjs start
else 
  importjs start
fi

where $cwd is the project root.
