compact-yarn-audit

What's this?

It presents yarn audit output in a compact table, ordered by severity.

Usage

yarn audit --json | npx compact-yarn-audit

Note: yarn's audit output can be quite large (gigabytes for a sizeable monorepo that hasn't had updates for a while), so it can take some time to process all that data.

Sample output

Why?

The default output of yarn's audit is verbose (just like npm's audit is). When there's more than 3 vulnerabilities it doesn't fit on a screen anymore. It also contains information I'm not interested in when I want to know what to fix and with what urgency:

• What is the module I used to import it (via column)?
• If that's not possible what should I put in the "resolutions" string?
• Can it be fixed at all?
• How severe is the vulnerability (severity, title)? Preferably with the most severe ones on top.

This module attempts to fix that by leaving out all information not essential to my use case.
