Is there any progress on this? Did you find out how to nstall an npm package during a IJavascript session?
This here works for me as a workaround - it pollutes the global file system.
$$.async(); require('child_process').exec('npm install node-fetch', (f, o, e) => $$.done({ f, o, e }))
@freiit This should work: child_process.execSync("npm install node-fetch")
.
You may also find useful the discussion in #118 .

What do you mean by that?

I'm not working on this issue. Last time I checked npm
and yarn
didn't expose an API to JS. And I'm not convinced defining something like the below would be really useful:
$$.npm = function(args) {
return child_process.execSync("npm " + args);
};
I need to document how to install an npm package so that it can be requested during an IJavascript session.
Alternatively,
$$
could provide a function; e.g:$$.npm()
,$$.yarn()
or just$$.exec()
to run a shell command in the session working directory.
