The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
Solo open source maintainers face burnout and security challenges, with 60% unpaid and 60% considering quitting.
Easily get a list of all Node subdependencies for your top-level dependencies
Install:
yarn add --dev datwd
or npm install --dev datwd
Make sure the npm
CLI is available and your dependencies are all installed. Then:
const getDependencies = require('datwd')
const allDeps = getDependencies(['some-package', '@another/package'])
webpack-node-externals
The primary use case this was built for was to support easier configuration for webpack-node-externals
. The allowList
property in nodeExternals
will whitelist top-level Node dependencies but will ignore subdependencies down the tree (see: Stack Overflow question, webpack-node-externals
issue #72. Consequently, by default, your package might ship with missing subdependencies you depend on.
Rather than manually whitelist dependencies and subdependencies (and sub-subdependencies...), use DATWD:
// webpack.config.js
const nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals')
const includeSubdependencies = require('datwd')
module.exports = {
// ...
externals: [
nodeExternals({
// Will include "cookies" and its dependencies; for example:
// `['cookies', 'depd', 'keygrip', 'tsscmp']`
allowlist: includeSubdependencies(['cookies'])
})
]
}
In many cases, you likely don't want to use DATWD. Instead, rely on the dependency tree from yarn list
or npm ls
.
Please open a discussion if you've found DATWD useful in other situations!
