get-bin-path supports finding binaries by name:

const binPath = await getBinPath({name: "my-binary"});

However, this doesn't fail if the given package.json has a default binary: ehmicky/get-bin-path#23

• Use Array#at when targeting Node 16 (https://github.com/tommy-mitchell/bin-path-cli/commit)/ba0c0dba0cfc54c992260894b8dac5a024deadb6
  • Node 14 is EOL. Node 16 supports array.at - 562ed24 can be reverted then
• Separate helper functions into own file and add individual tests (#5)
• Explore mapping binaries to source files (#5)
  • e.g. for testing binaries written in TypeScript
  • ref: ehmicky/get-bin-path#28

Mapping to a source binary can be verbose:

$ bin-path dist.js:::src.ts [...]

Some alternatives:

• A .bin-path.config.json file per project that contains the mapping
  • Can potentially include more complex mapping or other options
  • Can be ignored by git with a global .gitignore, .git/info/exclude, etc.
• Recommending a shell alias (alias bin-path-map="bin-path dist.js:::src.ts")
