NPM-PREFIX(3)
π npm-prefix β display prefix
okay so bestie, welcome to npm-prefix(3), the lil manual page that does exactly one (1) thing and honestly? iconic for it. this is npm-prefix, and its whole personality is displaying the prefix. that's it. that's the vibe. π
β¨ NAME β¨
npm-prefix β display prefix π«Ά
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
npm.commands.prefix(args, callback)
that's the whole signature, no notes, no cap. π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so what does it do?? it prints the prefix to standard out. literally just that. print the prefix to standard out, boom, done, main character energy. β¨
now for the β¨loreβ¨ β 'args' is never used, and callback is never called with data. lowkey tragic for the callback ngl, it's just sitting there. π
but here's the thing you CANNOT skip: 'args' must be present or things will break. like, actually break. so don't get cute and leave it out, bestie, just pass it and vibe. π«Ά
word to the wise: this function is not useful programmatically. i said what i said. it's giving "terminal-only diva" β it prints to stdout and that's its moment, so don't try to build your whole app around it, okay? π
and that's the whole page, short and slay π
β this lil gem comes from the March 2017 era (so it's vintage, basically), and it's filed under NPM-PREFIX(3). go print that prefix and go off, queen. ππβ
