nvm plugin

This plugin adds autocompletions for nvm — a Node.js version manager. It also automatically sources nvm, so you don't need to do it manually in your .zshrc.

To use it, add nvm to the plugins array of your zshrc file:

plugins=(... nvm)

Settings

If you installed nvm in a directory other than $HOME/.nvm, set and export NVM_DIR to be the directory where you installed nvm.

These settings should go in your zshrc file, before Oh My Zsh is sourced:

• NVM_HOMEBREW: if you installed nvm via Homebrew, in a directory other than /usr/local/opt/nvm, you can set NVM_HOMEBREW to be the directory where you installed it. For example, on Apple Silicon-based Macs, Homebrew is installed in /opt/homebrew. To get the directory where nvm has been installed, regardless of chip architecture, use NVM_HOMEBREW=$(brew --prefix nvm).

• NVM_LAZY: if you want the plugin to defer the load of nvm to speed-up the start of your zsh session, set NVM_LAZY to 1. This will source nvm script only when using it, and will create a function for node, npm, pnpm, yarn, and the command(s) specified by NVM_LAZY_CMD, so when you call either of them, nvm will be loaded and run with default version.

• NVM_LAZY_CMD: if you want additional command(s) to trigger lazy loading of nvm, set NVM_LAZY_CMD to the command or an array of the commands.

• NVM_AUTOLOAD: if NVM_AUTOLOAD is set to 1, the plugin will automatically load a node version when if finds a .nvmrc file in the current working directory indicating which node version to load.
