🌈 Unified Package Manager for Node.js (npm, pnpm, yarn), Bun and Deno.
✅ Supports [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/commands/npm), [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/), [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/), [bun](https://bun.sh/package-manager) and [deno](https://deno.com/) out of the box with a unified API.
✅ Provides an **API interface** to interact with package managers.
✅ **Autodetects** project's package manager using `package.json` and known lockfiles.
✅ **[corepack](https://github.com/nodejs/corepack)** integration for **pnpm** and **yarn**.
## `nypm` command
**Install dependencies:**
```sh
npx nypm i
```
**Add a dependency:**
```sh
npx nypm add defu
```
**Remove a dependency:**
```sh
npx nypm remove defu
```
## API Usage
Install package:
```sh
# ✨ Auto-detect
npx nypm install nypm
```
Import:
```js
// ESM import
import { addDependency } from "nypm";
// or dynamic import
const { addDependency } = await import("nypm");
```
### `addDependency(name, options)`
Adds dependency to the project.
### `addDevDependency(name, options)`

## 💻 Development
- Clone this repository
- Play [Nyan Cat](https://www.nyan.cat/) in the background (really important!)
- Enable [Corepack](https://github.com/nodejs/corepack) using `corepack enable`
- Install dependencies using `pnpm install`
- Run interactive tests using `pnpm dev`
