Feature request: add `agent` sub-command

[zanminkian]

Backgroud

@antfu/ni has an na command, which is agent alias. Running na install or na run build will detect and use the right package manager to execute the corresponding command.

• na install ➡️ npm install / pnpm install / yarn install
• na run build ➡️ npm run build / pnpm run build / yarn run build
• na foo bar ➡️ npm foo bar / pnpm foo bar / yarn foo bar

Solution

It's good provide a sub-command named agent in corepack. So that we don't need @antfu/ni

• corepack agent install ➡️ npm install / pnpm install / yarn install
• corepack agent run build ➡️ npm run build / pnpm run build / yarn run build
• corepack agent foo bar ➡️ npm foo bar / pnpm foo bar / yarn foo bar
• ...

If there is no packageManager field in package.json, use npm by default.

Addintion

Providing a cpa command which is the alias of corepack agent will be great.

It's different. This feature request is more generic, while the issue you linked seems only focus on installation.

I have wrote a wrapper for this, but it is better to be implemented in corepack.

That issue started out as installation, but is now a generic project command.

Cool, I'll have to try it out sometime!

Close this since I use my wrapper https://github.com/rnmjs/pm. I don't need this feature now ❤️.
