I do webdev on Guix, but I work in a team where I’m currently the only
Guix user, so my usage must work with changes we do.
I used to have a setup that used the local guix-installed npm (
https://www.draketo.de/software/guix-work#npm ), but that often broke,
so I switched to copying the
node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js
script from our build environment to
~/.local/bin/npm
(which I have on my path)
with #!/usr/bin/env node as hashbang.
That now actually works pretty well, and it uses the node from Guix.
Best wishes,
Arne
