The Changelog Podcast: Practical Steps to Stay Safe on npm
Learn the essential steps every developer should take to stay secure on npm and reduce exposure to supply chain attacks.
@dollarshaveclub/dependents
Advanced tools
Shows package dependency versions in specified node repositories.
# Install via NPM
npm i -g @dollarshaveclub/dependents
Then add a dependents key in your projects package.json that contains a list of repositories with their own package.json file. Note that these repos will be using the same organization defined in your repository key.
// package.json
{
"name": "my-package",
"version": "5.2.0",
"repository": "dollarshaveclub/my-package",
"dependents": [
"some-repo",
"another-repo",
"third-repo"
]
}
Dependents will read the package files specified and attempt to resolve your packages version number from them. This is useful when publishing a package across many applications that are not necessarily published to NPM.
dependents -h
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-p, --package [file] The path to the package.json file that contains dependents
-r, --remote Search against remote repositories in your org
-i, --installed Only show packages that have the dependency installed
-h, --help output usage information
$ dependents -p some/path/to/package.json # Shows a list of dependent versions in the specified package
$ dependents -r # Lists all repos in the org and if they depend on the client package
$ dependents -ri # Lists all dependents in the org that actually have the client package installed
