A tool for detecting dependencies
Identifying all the dependencies used in a project can be difficult, especially when they're spread out across many files and directories. Deedee can locate dependencies for a variety of languages and produce a summary of the names of those dependencies as well as their versions and other relevant information. This information can help highlight a number of issues in projects, such as out-of-date libraries, unused dependencies, and problems in package manifest files.
<script>
tags@import
Use deedee in your project:
$ npm install --save deedee
Or install it globally to use it from the command line:
$ npm install -g deedee
$ deedee path/to/some/awesome/project
import path from 'path';
import deedee from '../lib/deedee.js';
deedee({
path: path.resolve('..'),
recursive: false
}).then(deps => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(deps, null, 2));
});
