do actual install

[tomas-sereikis]

Great package, but why not add the actual install if the dependencies where added and lest say put it under custom flag like typesync --install. Because what i would love to do is just to add it in my post install scripts and do not care about it at all.

Because TypeSync does not make any assumptions about what package manager you're using.

For example, yarn has to update yarn.lock, npm updates package-lock.json.

Additionally, doing typesync && yarn or typesync && npm install does the trick nicely without TypeSync having to worry about what package manager you're using. 😃

Does that resolve this issue, or do you think there's something that can be done on TypeSync's side?

[tomas-sereikis]

well just so you can not use it with post-install scripts because it will give you a infinite loop, install triggers -> typesync that triggers -> install that triggers -> typesync and so on :)

[jeffijoe]

Yeah that's what I was thinking would happen! :D Even so, there's still the case of npm vs yarn.

@tomas-sereikis @jeffijoe

Great package! We can now use --ignore-scripts to suppress the postinstall infinite loop.

"scripts": {
  "postinstall": "npx typesync && yarn install --ignore-scripts" 
}

This may be better if written in README as an example of Tips?

Alternatively, add my original suggestion as a run script 😄
