neovim
This is my lazy approach on how to include binary dependencies in the Veonim project.
The code sees this:
import Neovim from '@veonim/neovim'And the build process uses a platform specific binary:
npm i -SE @veonim/neovim@0.2.0-mac
npm i -SE @veonim/neovim@0.2.0-win
npm i -SE @veonim/neovim@0.2.0-linux
In this way, I accomplish the following goals:
- don't check in binary dependencies in veonim project (although they are checked in this repo. lol i was lazy ok - shh be quiet)
- no runtime platform check to load a specific binary dependency
- no other platform binaries included in build output
- install via npm, control versioning via package.json
- can build in CI
- maintain laziness
If you have a better idea complain loudly.
development
in development it would be a good idea to install @veonim/neovim-dev. this will use the optionalDependencies feature of npm to bring in a platform specific binary package. this should only be used for current platform development
upgrade process
make changes
bump version in mac + linux + win package.json
npm publish main package.json (if modified)
npm publish each os package
