opm

Orchestrating Package Manager: A simple, consistent front-end to package managers to let you manage everything in one place.

It is NOT a package manager, but simply "orchestrates" real package managers with a few, easy-to-remember commands.

Note: A proper README is coming after a the API is more stable.

Installation

To install from npm, run

npm install -g blakek/opm

Usage

opm action args ...

Where an action can be:

• install → install new packages
• outdated → lists outdated packages
• upgrade → upgrades existing packages

Adding functionality

Again, much better documentation is coming soon.

To add your own plugin (e.g. for a real package manager or something similar), just about everything is optional. It is recommended you have:

• a function to install new packages
• a function to list outdated packages
• a function that can upgrade already installed packages

More information is coming soon, but the gist of it is:

Install and require() the opm module

npm install --save blakek/opm

var opm = require('opm')

Listen for pre-defined events

For example:

opm.on('outdated', (cb) => {
	// List outdated packages
}

Give back opm the output to deal with

opm.on('outdated', (cb) => {
	// Call cb() with an array of outdated package objects, for example:
	var outdatedPackages = exec('fakeCommand update && fakeCommand outdated')
	cb(outdatedPackages)
}
