Get your PATH prepended with locally installed binaries

In npm run scripts you can execute locally installed binaries by name. This enables the same outside npm.

$ npm install npm-run-path

const childProcess = require('child_process');
const npmRunPath = require('npm-run-path');

console.log(process.env.PATH);
//=> '/usr/local/bin'

console.log(npmRunPath());
//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/dev/foo/node_modules/.bin:/Users/sindresorhus/dev/node_modules/.bin:/Users/sindresorhus/node_modules/.bin:/Users/node_modules/.bin:/node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/bin'

// `foo` is a locally installed binary
childProcess.execFileSync('foo', {
	env: npmRunPath.env()
});

Returns the augmented path string.

Type: object

Type: string
Default: process.cwd()

Working directory.

Type: string
Default: PATH

PATH to be appended.
Set it to an empty string to exclude the default PATH.

Type: string
Default: process.execPath

Path to the current Node.js executable. Its directory is pushed to the front of PATH.

This can be either an absolute path or a path relative to the cwd option.

Returns the augmented process.env object.

Type: object

Type: string
Default: process.cwd()

Working directory.

Type: Object

Accepts an object of environment variables, like process.env, and modifies the PATH using the correct PATH key. Use this if you're modifying the PATH for use in the child_process options.

Type: string
Default: process.execPath

Path to the Node.js executable to use in child processes if that is different from the current one. Its directory is pushed to the front of PATH.

This can be either an absolute path or a path relative to the cwd option.
