 Scrumplex | I have been hitting my head against the current state of mirrors-support in nixpkgs around Node.
- fetchPnpmDeps: supports
NIX_NPM_REGISTRY as an impure env var
- importNpmLock: no mirror support (needed in fetchurl)
- fetchYarnDeps: no mirror support
- fetchNpmDeps/prefetchNpmDeps: supports
config.npmRegistryOverridesString (and npmRegistryOverrides by extension)
I was trying to get all of these under the same roof in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/504349 using the fetchurl NIX_MIRRORS_<name> feature as a common baseline, but I am not sure if this is the best way forward.
For completion's sake we should probably also add support for registry.yarnpkg.org and npm.jsr.io, but I think this is all very convoluted sadly :/

 hsjobeki | The pnpmFetcher in nixpkgs annoyed me really hard the last couple of days | 12:00:42 |
| Scrumplex | fetchPnpmDeps is definitely not the best thing in the world but sadly the best we have at the moment.
Maybe I can interest you in my importPnpmLock.nix (also mirrord to GitHub). Though that is only a solution if you are okay with IFD

 René | Hello. Is there an example out there on how I can make an npm package available in a devShell that I usually would npm install -g?
| 19:57:03 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | if it is packaged in nixpkgs, then you just add it to the devShell like any other package. If it is not available like that, you have to package it | 20:01:08 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | and to package it, see the documentation https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/doc/languages-frameworks/javascript.section.md#tool-specific-instructions-javascript-tool-specific | 20:02:03 |
