znvm

makes zsh with nvm fast and more convenient

Features

• Make zsh with nvm faster by loading only if .nvmrc file found or called explicitly
• Automatically calls nvm use if .nvmrc is present.
• If node vesion in .nvmrv is not installed it will automatically call nvm install <node_version>
• Can be configured to load nvm before certain commands are executed on the shell (such as editors and IDEs)

WARNING: Do not install using npm. Use methods mentioned below.

Usage

nothing to do here its very natural ;)

• if you wish to use nvm just call it, wait for it to load and then start using it
• if you switch to a dir that has .nvmrc, nvm will automatically load and use node version specified in .nvmrc
• if node version specified in .nvmrc is not installed it will be automatically installed and used
• if you have configured ZNVM_PREEXEC then nvm will be loaded before command executes
