Package manager detector is based on lock files and the `packageManager` field in the current project's `package.json` file.
It will detect your `yarn.lock` / `pnpm-lock.yaml` / `package-lock.json` / `bun.lock` / `bun.lockb` / `deno.lock` to know the current package manager and use the `packageManager` field in your `package.json` if present.
## Install
```sh
# pnpm
pnpm add package-manager-detector
# npm
npm i package-manager-detector
# yarn
yarn add package-manager-detector
```
## Usage
### ESM
To check the file system for which package manager is used:
```js
import { detect } from 'package-manager-detector/detect'
```
or sync version:
```js
import { detectSync } from 'package-manager-detector/detect'
```
or to get the currently running package manager:
```js
import { getUserAgent } from 'package-manager-detector/detect'
```
### CommonJS
To check the file system for which package manager is used:
```js
const { detect } = require('package-manager-detector/detect')
```
or sync version:
```js
const { detectSync } = require('package-manager-detector/detect')
```
or to get the currently running package manager:
```js
const { getUserAgent } = require('package-manager-detector/detect')
```
## Agents and Commands
This package includes package manager agents and their corresponding commands for:
- `'agent'` - run the package manager with no arguments
- `'install'` - install dependencies
- `'frozen'` - install dependencies using frozen lockfile
- `'add'` - add dependencies
- `'uninstall'` - remove dependencies
- `'global'` - install global packages
- `'global_uninstall'` - remove global packages
- `'upgrade'` - upgrade dependencies
- `'upgrade-interactive'` - upgrade dependencies interactively: not available for `npm` and `bun`
- `'execute'` - download & execute binary scripts
- `'execute-local'` - execute binary scripts (from package locally installed)
- `'run'` - run `package.json` scripts
### Using Agents and Commands
A `resolveCommand` function is provided to resolve the command for a specific agent.
```ts
import { resolveCommand } from 'package-manager-detector/commands'
import { detect } from 'package-manager-detector/detect'
const pm = await detect()
if (!pm)
throw new Error('Could not detect package manager')
const { command, args } = resolveCommand(pm.agent, 'add', ['@antfu/ni']) // { command: 'pnpm', args: ['add', '@antfu/ni'] }
console.log(`Detected the ${pm.agent} package manager. You can run a install with ${command} ${args.join(' ')}`)
```
