\n\n# supi\n\n[](https://travis-ci.org/pnpm/supi \"See test builds\")\n[](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/zkochan/supi/branch/master)\n\n> Fast, disk space efficient installation engine. Used by [pnpm](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm)\n\n## Install\n\nInstall it via npm.\n\n```\nnpm install supi\n```\n\nIt also depends on `@pnpm/logger` version `1`, so install it as well via:\n\n```\nnpm install @pnpm/logger@1\n```\n\n## API\n\n### `supi.installPkgs(pkgsToInstall, [options])`\n\nInstall packages.\n\n**Arguments:**\n\n* `pkgsToInstall` - *Object | String[]* - either an object that maps package names to version ranges or inputs usually passed to `npm install` (e.g., `foo@1.0.0`, `foo`).\n* `options.storeController` - *Object* - required. An object that does all the manipulations with the store.\n* `options.store` - *String* - required. Location of the store.\n* `options.saveProd` - *Boolean* - package will appear in `dependencies`.\n* `options.saveDev` - *Boolean* - package will appear in `devDependencies`.\n* `options.saveOptional` - *Boolean* - package will appear in `optionalDependencies`.\n* `options.saveExact` - *Boolean* - saved dependencies will be configured with an exact version rather than using npm's default semver range operator.\n* `options.global` - *Boolean* - the packages will be installed globally rather than locally.\n* `options.prefix` - *String* - the directory in which the installation will be performed. By default the `process.cwd()` value is used.\n* `options.reporter` - *Function* - A function that listens for logs.\n* `options.packageManager` - *Object* - The `package.json` of the package manager.\n* `options.hooks` - *Object* - A property that contains installation hooks. Hooks are [documented separately](#hooks).\n* `options.shrinkwrapOnly` - *Boolean* - `false` by default. When `true`, only updates `shrinkwrap.yaml` and `package.json` instead of checking `node_modules` and downloading dependencies.\n\n**Returns:** a Promise\n\n**Example:**\n\n```js\nconst pnpm = require('pnpm')\n\npnpm.installPkgs({\n 'is-positive': '1.0.0',\n 'hello-world': '^2.3.1'\n}, { saveDev: true })\n```\n\n### `supi.install([options])`\n\nInstall all modules listed as dependencies in `package.json`.\n\n**Arguments:** (same as in named install and additionally)\n\n* `options.production` - *Boolean* - `true` by default. If `true`, packages listed in `dependencies` will be installed.\n* `options.development` - *Boolean* - `true` by default. If `true`, packages listed in `devDependencies` will be installed.\n* `options.optional` - *Boolean* - Has the value of `options.production` by default. If `true`, packages listed in `optionalDependencies` will be installed.\n Can be `true` only when `options.production` is `true` as well.\n\n### `supi.uninstall(pkgsToUninstall, [options])`\n\nUninstalls a package, completely removing everything pnpm installed on its behalf.\n\n**Arguments:**\n\n* `pkgsToUninstall` - *String[]* - the package names to be uninstalled.\n* `options.saveProd` - *Boolean* - the package will be removed from `dependencies`.\n* `options.saveDev` - *Boolean* - the package will be removed from `devDependencies`.\n* `options.saveOptional` - *Boolean* - the package will be removed from `optionalDependencies`.\n* `options.global` - *Boolean* - the packages will be uninstalled globally.\n* `options.reporter` - *Function* - A function that listens for logs.\n\n### `supi.link(linkFrom, lintTo, [options])`\n\nCreate a symbolic link from the linked package to the target package's `node_modules` (and its `node_modules/.bin`).\n\n**Arguments:**\n\n* `linkFrom` - *String* - path to the package that should be linked.\n* `lintTo` - *String* - path to the dependent package.\n* `options.reporter` - *Function* - A function that listens for logs.\n\n### `supi.linkToGlobal(linkFrom, options)`\n\nCreate a symbolic link from the specified package to the global `node_modules`.\n\n**Arguments:**\n\n* `linkFrom` - *String* - path to the package that should be linked.\n* `globalPrefix` - *String* - path to the global directory.\n* `options.reporter` - *Function* - A function that listens for logs.\n\n### `supi.linkFromGlobal(pkgName, linkTo, options)`\n\nCreate a symbolic link from the global `pkgName` to the `linkTo/node_modules` folder.\n\n**Arguments:**\n\n* `pkgName` - *String* - package to link.\n* `linkTo` - *String* - package to link to.\n* `globalPrefix` - *String* - path to the global directory.\n* `options.reporter` - *Function* - A function that listens for logs.\n\n### `supi.unlink([options])`\n\nUnlinks all packages that were linked during development in a project. If the linked package is in `package.json` of the project,\nit is installed after unlinking.\n\n**Arguments:**\n\n* `options.prefix` - *String* - by default `process.cwd()`. Path to the project.\n* `options.reporter` - *Function* - A function that listens for logs.\n\n### `supi.unlinkPkgs(pkgsToUnlink, [options])`\n\nUnlinks the listed packages that were linked during development in a project. If the linked package is in `package.json` of the project,\nit is installed after unlinking.\n\n**Arguments:**\n\n* `pkgsToUnlink` - *String[]* - the list of packages that have to be unlinked. If the passed in package is not an external link, then a warning is reported.\n* `options.prefix` - *String* - by default `process.cwd()`. Path to the project.\n* `options.reporter` - *Function* - A function that listens for logs.\n\n### `supi.prune([options])`\n\nRemove extraneous packages. Extraneous packages are packages that are not listed on the parent package's dependencies list.\n\n**Arguments:**\n\n* `options.production` - *Boolean* - by default `false`. If this property is `true`, prune will remove the packages specified in `devDependencies`.\n* `options.prefix` - *String* - by default `process.cwd()`.\n* `options.reporter` - *Function* - A function that listens for logs.\n\n### `supi.storeStatus([options])`\n\nReturn the list of modified dependencies.\n\n**Arguments:**\n\n* `options.reporter` - *Function* - A function that listens for logs.\n\n**Returns:** `Promise` - the paths to the modified packages of the current project. The paths contain the location of packages in the store,\nnot in the projects `node_modules` folder.\n\n### `supi.storePrune([options])`\n\nRemove unreferenced packages from the store.\n\n## Hooks\n\nHooks are functions that can step into the installation process.\n\n### `readPackage(pkg)`\n\nThis hook is called with every dependency's manifest information.\nThe modified manifest returned by this hook is then used by supi during installation.\n\n**Example:**\n\n```js\nconst supi = require('supi')\n\nsupi.installPkgs({\n hooks: {readPackage}\n})\n\nfunction readPackage (pkg) {\n if (pkg.name === 'foo') {\n pkg.dependencies = {\n bar: '^2.0.0',\n }\n }\n return pkg\n}\n```\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\nThanks to [Valentina Kozlova](https://github.com/ValentinaKozlova) for the supi logo\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](LICENSE)\n",
