[BETTER NPM COMPLETION FOR ZSH // CACHE-AWARE INSTALL + DEP-AWARE UNINSTALL]

"npm install <TAB> recommends from cache. npm uninstall <TAB> recommends from package.json."

Better completion for npm

  • Makes npm install recommendations from npm cache
  • Makes npm uninstall recommendations from dependencies/devDependencies
  • Shows detailed information on script contents for npm run
  • Falls back to default npm completions if we don't have anything better
