With use of the bin-gem-node annex you possibly can set up Ruby Gems and Node modules in an fascinating means:
- they’re going to be put in within the plugin’s or snippet’s listing,
- an automated operate shall be supplied to run the binary that is supplied by the package deal.
This has a number of advantages. For instance, no $PATH alteration is required within the .zprofile file. Additionally, the package deal shall be routinely up to date on zi replace. Plus, the set up shall be remoted from different packages – a number of packages not be put in a single place.
An instance ZI invocation that installs the comment software that can be utilized to transform Markdown paperwork into man pages:
zi ice wait'2' lucid id-as'comment' node'comment <- !remark-cli; remark-man'
zi snippet /dev/null
It’s snippet-based. An instance plugin-based invocation:
zi ice wait'2' lucid id-as'comment' node'comment <- !remark-cli; remark-man'
zi load z-shell/null
It has a bonus – it can delete the comment operate when unloading the plugin.
The exclamation-mark earlier than !remark-cli is essential – it causes the automated operate invoking the binary to be created.
Extra data will be discovered on the bin-gem-node annex page.
The command installs 2 node modules – remark-cli and remark-man (the backend for the comment converter – comment can convert additionally to different codecs).
Through the use of the exclamation-mark and the <- pointer it additionally requests the operate that may run the comment binary to be created. The operate has the next physique:
comment () {
native bindir="/root/.zi/plugins/comment/node_modules/.bin"
native -x NODE_PATH="/root/.zi/plugins/remark2"/node_modules
"$bindir"/"comment" "$@"
}
As it may be seen it finally supplies the comment software to the command line.
