Package Management: Support Global Package Installs for NPM + Bundler
This was the response I got from the devs. I haven't tried the solution yet, but I think it should work.
Nix is pretty restrictive about installing packages globally. But you can install global node packages using:
devbox add nodePackages.<package_name>For example, if you need yalc:devbox add nodePackages.yalc
Because it is built on top of Nix, I think many concepts are interchangeable.
Supportable with the workflow described above for nodePackages and some other package managers. For tools like Bundler, there are some workarounds that can be found in our examples Repo (https://github.com/jetpack-io/jetpack-examples). We're planning some work to make this configuration easier for developers to setup.
@Lagoja Oh geez, I didn't realize that you were a contributor yourself, I thought it was a question from a user haha. So wanted to help. :)
% devbox add nodePackages.gitlab-ci-local
Error: Package nodePackages.gitlab-ci-local not found
