Validate your project's software requirements.
$ npm install -D requirements
$ yarn add --dev requirements
Scaffold a new requirements.config.mjs
configuration file
$ npx requirements --init
Configure the requirements.config.mjs
file in your project root.
export default {
software: {
node: '*',
yarn: '~1.17.3',
nginx: {
semver: '>= 1.16.x',
optional: true, // optional (won't fail)
installMessage: '<install instruction>', // custom message when binary is not found
updateMessage: '<update instruction>', // custom message when binary has wrong version
},
httpd: {
semver: '^1.x',
flag: '-v', // custom version flag
},
},
// custom functions to verify requirements which are not related to software versions
// see ./tests/custom-check-ssh.config.mjs for an example
custom: {
'Example title for custom requirements check', {
fn: () => { throw new Error('throw Error when requirement not met.') },
errorMessage: 'This error message is shown when the above function throws Error',
}
}
};
Run requirements
command in the project root. By default it will try to find the requirements.config.mjs
file.
npx requirements
Or use a custom path:
npx requirements --config <filepath>
npx requirements --help
Options:
--help, -h Show help [boolean]
--version, -v Show version number [boolean]
--init, -i Create a requirements.config.mjs file
--config, -c Path to the configuration file
[default: "requirements.config.mjs"]
--force, -f Succeeds even if not all requirements are satisfied
[boolean] [default: false]
--quiet, -q Only output when errors are present [boolean]
--debug Print raw data [boolean]
const { checkSoftware, renderTable } = require('requirements');
(async () => {
const result = await checkSoftware({ node: '*' });
console.log(renderTable(result));
})();
checkSoftware() returns an Array with results
[
{
bin: 'node',
semver: '*',
installed: true,
version: '12.8.1',
satisfies: true,
},
];
