npex

Find npm package executables in node_modules/.bin recursively (similar to the Node.js module resolution mechanism), and execute them.

Descriptions

This is similar to npx, but it tries to find executables in node_modules/.bin recursively and it will not install anything if executables are found.

This extremely useful for monorepo, where your executables are hoisted to the monorepo root, but you want to execute them from sub-repos' location.

Install with npm

npm install -g npex

Usages

npex [--verbose] <command> [<args>...]

Examples

npex lerna ls
npex --verbose lerna ls

npex tsc
npex tsc --listFiles

npex jest
npex jest --help
