auto-n-auto

A modified version of runn by neemzy

Uses the n Node.js version manager to switch Node.js versions automatically.

Run n auto automatically while changing directories with zsh, but only if you need to according to node-semver.

How it works

This is meant to be run upon cd to switch automatically while keeping it fast. I use zsh hooks to run the script on every directory change (configuration below).

Running this script will try to read a Node.js version from a .n-node-version file in the working directory, match the current version of Node against it, and run n auto if they do not match.

Setup

Pre req: make sure n is installed of course.

git clone git@github.com:jdk2pq/auto-n-auto.git
pnpm i

Add the following to your .zshrc:

autoload -U add-zsh-hook

auto-n-auto() {
  node path/to/auto-n-auto
}

add-zsh-hook chpwd auto-n-auto
auto-n-auto

Finally, run source .zshrc or restart your terminal, and it should work!
