add a property to disable activities of postinstall script #49

Closed rotty3000 closed 2 years ago

rotty3000 commented 2 years ago

Using the ability for .npmrc properties to be available via process.env, add a check for a property which can disable postinstall script to simplify keeping up to date.

PR on it's way...

Why is this useful

this is what I added to the README:

When maintaining a set of modifications it useful to disable the postinstall operations to keep your changes intact by setting the property scimgateway_postinstall_skip = true in .npmrc.

What problem it solves

to not have (allows me to delete) plugins and integrations with databases I don’t use

rotty3000 commented 2 years ago

To be even more clear this is an improvement so that in the future if we update scimgateway dependency it doesn't re-add all those files, which means I can safely delete all the ones we don't use. :)

I will look into this in the next update

Thanks, Jarle

jelhub commented 2 years ago

Maybe better to skip postinstall script if config and lib directory exists Jarle

That is one option, there is also ability to send command line parameters to npm scripts.
