Example: build multiple frontend applications with different package managers and a shared Node.js
distribution.
This example demonstrates how a single Node.js distribution may be installed and shared among multiple subprojects, and how different package managers may be used in these subprojects.
- A Gradle Wrapper configured in this directory.
The root project defines an extra property nodeInstallDirectory pointing to a directory where the Node.js distribution
shall be installed. The node-subproject subproject downloads and installs the distribution in this directory. Other
subprojects simply reuse this property and the nodeDistributionProvided plugin property to avoid downloading again the
distribution. All package managers used in package.json files are different. Thanks to Corepack, the
Node.js distribution deals with the download of each package manager and its activation in each subproject.
Each subproject defines a custom task <packageManager>Version that prints the version of the package manager enabled
in the subproject. Finally, run gradlew build on a command line, and verify these tasks prints the expected version
based on the packageManager field located in the package.json file.
