Simple utility to transfer packages from your dependencies or devDependencies lists into new project.
npm install -g package-transfer
pkg-transfer [options]
Transfer dependencies from old-project to current project (my-new-project):
cd my-new-project
pkg-transfer -s ../old-project
The command detects which packages need to be transferred and offers to auto install them into target package.
This command does exactly the same thing only for devDependencies:
pkg-transfer -s ../old-project --dev
If you prefer yarn over npm:
pkg-transfer -s ../old-project --yarn
Most of the time you are locking your package.json dependencies to exact version. If you wish to transfer those exact versions to target package.json then just use --strict argument.
pkg-transfer -s ../my-project --strict
Usage: pkg-transfer [options]
Options:
-v, --version Print version
--verbose Increase logging verbosity
-h, --help Output help and usage information
-s, --source Source package (from where you want to transfer dependencies)
-t, --target Target package (defaults to current directory)
--yarn Use yarn instead of npm
--dev Transfer devDependencies
--dry-run Just prints install command, does NOT really install anything
--strict Use exact versions from source package.json when installing dependencies
