About:
Fnm is a Node.js version manager built in Rust for speed and simplicity. It uses the .nvmrc or .node-version files to automatically switch Node versions per project. This tool provides a lightweight alternative to nvm, focusing on fast performance and ease of use.
|
Key Features:
- Fast performance due to Rust implementation
- Automatic version switching based on local configuration files
- Cross-platform support (macOS, Linux, Windows)
- Simple shell completions for Bash, Zsh, and Fish
|
Use Cases:
- Managing multiple Node.js versions for different projects
- Automating Node version switching in CI/CD pipelines
- Developing on projects with strict Node version requirements
|
Alternatives:
-
nvm
– Slower shell-based implementation but more widely used and feature-rich
-
n
– Another fast alternative, but Fnm offers better automatic switching
