Node.js plugin for [asdf](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf) version manager
*The plugin properly validates OpenPGP signatures to check the authenticity of the package. Requires `gpg` to be available during package installs*
## Requirements
### macOS
* [GnuPG](http://www.gnupg.org) - `brew install gpg`
* awk - any posix compliant implementation (tested on gawk `brew install gawk`)
### Linux (Debian)
* [dirmngr](https://packages.debian.org/sid/dirmngr) - `apt-get install
dirmngr`
* [GnuPG](http://www.gnupg.org) - `apt-get install gpg`
* [curl](https://curl.haxx.se) - `apt-get install curl`
* awk - any posix compliant implementation (tested on gawk `apt-get install gawk`)

Check [asdf](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf) readme for instructions on how to install & manage versions of Node.js at a system and project level.
When installing Node.js using `asdf install`, you can pass custom configure options with the following env vars:
Behind the scenes, `asdf-nodejs` utilizes [`node-build`](https://github.com/nodenv/node-build) to install pre-compiled binaries and compile from source if necessary. You can check its [README](https://github.com/nodenv/node-build/blob/master/README.md) for more compile settings and troubleshooting.
* `NODEJS_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS` - use only your configure options
* `NODEJS_EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS` - append these configure options along with ones that this plugin already uses
* `NODEJS_CHECK_SIGNATURES` - `strict` is default. Other values are `no` and `yes`. Checks downloads against OpenPGP signatures from the Node.js release team.
* `NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR` - official mirror `https://nodejs.org/dist/` is default. If you are in China, you can set it to `https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/node/`.
When compiling a version from source, you are going to need to install [all requirements for compiling Node.js](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/BUILDING.md#building-nodejs-on-supported-platforms) (be advised that different versions might require different configurations). That being said, `node-build` does a great job at handling edge cases and compilations rarely need a deep investigation.
### `.nvmrc` and `.node-version` files
### Configuration
Aside from the [common configuration with `node-build`](https://github.com/nodenv/node-build#custom-build-configuration), `asdf-nodejs` has a few extra environment variables for configuration.
| Variable | Function |
| --------| ---|
- `ASDF_NODEJS_NODEBUILD_HOME`: Home for the node-build installation, defaults to `$ASDF_DIR/plugins/nodejs/.node-build`, you can install it in another place or share it with your system
- `ASDF_NODEJS_NODEBUILD`: Path to the node-build executable, defaults to `$NODE_BUILD_MIRROR_URL/bin/node-build`
- `ASDF_NODEJS_CONCURRENCY`: How many jobs should be used in compilation. Defaults to half the computer cores
- `ASDF_NODEJS_VERBOSE_INSTALL`: Enables verbose output for downloading and building. Any value different from empty is treated as enabled.
- `NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR`: (Legacy) overrides the default mirror used for downloading the distibutions, alternative to the `NODE_BUILD_MIRROR_URL` node-build env var
### Integrity/signature check
In the past `asdf-nodejs` checked for signatures and integrity on our own. `node-build` checks integrity by precomputing checksums ahead of time and versioning them together with the instructions for building them.
### `.nvmrc` and `.node-version` support
asdf uses the `.tool-versions` for auto-switching between software versions. To ease migration, you can have it read an existing `.nvmrc` or `.node-version` file to find out what version of Node.js should be used. To do this, add the following to `$HOME/.asdfrc`:

## Default npm Packages
asdf-nodejs can automatically install a set of default set of npm package right after installing a Node.js version. To enable this feature, provide a `$HOME/.default-npm-packages` file that lists one package per line, for example:

You can specify a non-default location of this file by setting a `ASDF_NPM_DEFAULT_PACKAGES_FILE` variable.
## Problems with OpenPGP signatures in older versions
The plugin automatically imports the NodeJS release team's OpenPGP keys. If you are trying to install a previous release and facing any issue about verification, import the Node.js previous release team's OpenPGP keys to main keyring:
```bash
bash -c '${ASDF_DATA_DIR:=$HOME/.asdf}/plugins/nodejs/bin/import-previous-release-team-keyring'
```
## Using a dedicated OpenPGP keyring
The `bash` script mentioned in [the installation instructions](#install) (`import-release-team-keyring`) imports the OpenPGP public keys in your main OpenPGP keyring. However, you can also use a dedicated keyring in order to mitigate [this issue](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/9859).
To use a dedicated keyring, prepare the dedicated keyring and set it as the default keyring in the current shell:
```bash
export GNUPGHOME="${ASDF_DIR:-$HOME/.asdf}/keyrings/nodejs" && mkdir -p "$GNUPGHOME" && chmod 0700 "$GNUPGHOME"
# Imports Node.js release team's OpenPGP keys to the keyring
bash ~/.asdf/plugins/nodejs/bin/import-release-team-keyring
```
Again, if you used `brew` to manage the `asdf` installation use the following bash commands:
```bash
export GNUPGHOME="bash /usr/local/opt/asdf/keyrings/nodejs" && mkdir -p "$GNUPGHOME" && chmod 0700 "$GNUPGHOME"
# Imports Node.js release team's OpenPGP keys to the keyring
bash /usr/local/opt/asdf/plugins/nodejs/bin/import-release-team-keyring
```
#### Related notes
* [Verifying Node.js Binaries](https://github.com/nodejs/node#verifying-binaries).
* Only versions `>=0.10.0` are checked. Before that version, signatures for SHA2-256 hashes might not be provided (and can not be installed with the `strict` setting for that reason).
This behavior can be influenced by the `NODEJS_CHECK_SIGNATURES` env var which supports the following options:
* `strict` - (default): Check signatures/checksums and dont operate on package versions which did not provide signatures/checksums properly (< 0.10.0).
* `no` - Do not check signatures/checksums
* `yes`- Check signatures/checksums if they should be present (enforced for >= 0.10.0)
