File Type: ts
Generated Description:
This TypeScript file provides functionality to detect the operating system and identify available package managers (both Node.js-specific and system-level) on the system. It's designed to be platform-agnostic and works across Windows, macOS, and Linux, including WSL environments.
The file aims to determine the current operating system, identify which package manager(s) (e.g., npm, yarn, bun, brew, apt, choco) are installed and available on the system. This information is crucial for scripts that need to interact with the system's package management capabilities, such as installing dependencies or other software.
Platform
enum: Defines an enum for representing different operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, Unknown).IPlatformInfo
interface: Defines an interface to structure information about the detected platform, including boolean flags for various platform-specific characteristics (e.g.,isWsl
,isWsl2
).- **
determinePlatformInfo()
: ** This function detects the operating system and returns anIPlatformInfo
object containing the details. It leveragesos.platform()
and environment variables (WSL_DISTRO_NAME
,WSL_INTEROP
) to accurately identify WSL environments. - **
platformInfo
: ** A singleton, immutable (Object.freeze
) instance ofIPlatformInfo
, providing readily available platform details. PackageManagerInfo
interface: Defines the structure for package manager information (name and command).nodePackageManagers
&systemPackageManagers
: Arrays ofPackageManagerInfo
objects listing common Node.js package managers and system package managers, respectively.systemPackageManagers
is dynamically generated based on the detected platform.- **
getSystemPackageManagers()
: ** Returns an array ofPackageManagerInfo
based on the operating system detected. This uses a switch statement for platform-specific handling. allKnownPackageManagers
: CombinesnodePackageManagers
andsystemPackageManagers
into a single list.checkPackageManager(pmInfo)
: Asynchronously checks if a given package manager is installed and functional by attempting to execute its version command. It uses Bun's$
tagged template literal for command execution and handles potential errors gracefully.- **
detectNodePackageManager()
: ** Asynchronously detects the first available Node.js package manager. - **
detectSystemPackageManager()
: ** Asynchronously detects the first available system package manager.
- Immutability: The
platformInfo
object is frozen usingObject.freeze()
to ensure its values cannot be modified after initialization, enhancing data integrity. - Singleton Pattern: The
platformInfo
is implemented as a singleton, ensuring only one instance exists throughout the application's lifecycle. - Asynchronous Operations: Package manager detection is done asynchronously using
async/await
, preventing blocking while waiting for external commands to finish. - Error Handling: The
checkPackageManager
function includes robust error handling usingtry...catch
, specifically checking forENOENT
(file not found) errors and filtering out irrelevant errors. - Platform-Specific Logic: The use of a switch statement in
getSystemPackageManagers
demonstrates a clear way to handle platform-specific logic. - Functional Programming Principles: The code tends to favor pure functions and immutability, enhancing readability and testability.
- CLI tools: To determine which package manager to use for installing dependencies or other tasks.
- Build scripts: To automate tasks that require platform-specific commands.
- Installer scripts: To determine how to install Node.js (or other dependencies) based on the system and available package managers.
- Cross-platform applications: To adapt the behavior or logic of an application to the underlying operating system.
- Testing frameworks: To conditionally run tests based on the available platform and package managers.
The code is well-structured, robust, and clearly demonstrates best practices for asynchronous operations, error handling, and platform-specific logic. The use of Bun's $
simplifies command execution, and the overall design facilitates maintainability and reusability.
