Command-line tool for selectively displaying data about packages in node_modules.
> npm install installed
> installed --help
Display data about installed packages.
Usage: installed [options] [name[@version] ...]
Examples:
installed List all top-level dependencies
installed inherits mkdirp Check whether either mkdirp or inherits are installed. Only fails if none can be found.
installed --all inherits mkdirp Check whether both mkdirp and inherits are installed. Fails all dependencies are found.
installed --depth=-1 mkdirp Check whether mkdirp is installed at any depth.
installed --dev mkdirp Check for mkdirp as a dependency OR a devDependency. devDependencies are filtered-out by default.
installed mkdirp@^1.0.0 Check whether mkdirp version matching ^1.0.0 is installed.
installed --format="{name}" mkdirp inherits Only print names of matching installed dependencies at the top level.
installed --format="{version} - {realPath}" mkdirp Print the version followed by a hyphen and the realpath to mkdirp.
installed --table --format="{name} {license} {path}" Format top level dependency name, license and path as a table.
installed --depth=-1 --unique --format="{name}@{version}" List all dependencies, but only display unique name@version instances.
installed --filter="scripts.test" List only dependencies with a test script.
installed --filter="dependencies.browserify" List only dependencies that depend on browserify.
installed --filter="browserify.transform.indexOf('es6ify') == -1" List only dependencies with es6ify as a browserify transform.
installed --filter="dependencies.browserify" --dev List only dependencies that depend on browserify.
Options:
--dev Include development dependencies.
--extraneous Show extraneous dependencies [default: true]
--no-extraneous Filter extraneous dependencies. This will include --dev dependencies if --dev is not enabled.
--summary Show summary after results on stderr. [default: true]
--no-summary Do not print any summary text to stderr. "e.g. 5 matching dependencies."
--depth Traversal depth. use --depth=Infinity or --depth=-1 to traverse entire dependency tree. [default: 0]
--format Output format string. Place variables in {curlies}. [default: "{name}@{version}"]
--list-vars List examples of possible --format & --table variables.
--table Show output in a table. Use --format to indicate desired columns. All non-variables are ignored.
--unique Only display unique lines of output. [default: true]
--no-unique Permit duplicate lines of output.
--filter Filter packages by an expression. See http://npm.im/to-function for syntax. [string] [default: function filter() { [native code] }]
--json Generate JSON output. Respects keys used in --format. All non-variables are ignored.
--flatten Flatten --json output so there is no object nesting.
--help Show help
--version Show version number
> mkdir installed-cli-test && cd installed-cli-test
> npm init -f
> npm install inherits mkdirp --save
> installed
inherits@2.0.1
mkdirp@0.5.0
2 matching dependencies
You can use --depth in combination with most other flags.
> npm install --save mkdirp
> installed --depth=-1
inherits@2.0.1
mkdirp@0.5.0
minimist@0.0.8
3 matching dependencies
If the package is not installed you'll get a non-zero exit-code:
> installed mkdirp || echo "package is not installed"
mkdirp@0.5.0
1 matching dependency
> installed bower || echo "package is not installed"
No matching dependencies!
package is not installed
You can pass any valid semver version in the format: name@semver:
> installed inherits@2.0.0
No matching dependencies!
> installed inherits@~2.0.0
inherits@2.0.1
1 matching dependency
> installed mkdirp inherits bower || echo "Failed."
inherits@2.0.1
mkdirp@0.5.0
2 matching dependencies.
--all will exit with failure unless all listed packages are matched.
> installed --all mkdirp inherits bower || echo "Failed."
inherits@2.0.1
mkdirp@0.5.0
2 matching dependencies.
2 out of 3 matches.
Failed.
--all will exit with failure unless all packages are matched.
> installed --all mkdirp inherits bower || echo "Failed."
inherits@2.0.1
mkdirp@0.5.0
2 matching dependencies.
2 out of 3 matches.
Failed.
Use --dev to include devDependencies.
> npm install --save-dev tape
> installed tape
No matching dependencies!
> installed tape --dev
tape@3.4.0
1 matching dependency
Use --format to control output. Variables are enclosed in single
curlies.
> installed --format="{name}"
inherits
mkdirp
2 dependencies.
> installed --format="{name}@{version} - {realPath}"
inherits@2.0.1 - /Users/timoxley/Projects/test/installed-cli-test/node_modules/inherits

> installed --format='{name} "{scripts.test}"'

12 dependencies.
To make it easy to flip between text and table output, all whitespace &
non-variable characters in the --format string are totally ignored.
The variables are collected and used as table columns.
> installed --format="{name}@{version} - {realPath}" --table

Use --json to get JSON Output.
> installed --format="{name} {scripts.test}" --json

"name": "inherits",
"scripts": {
"test": "node test"
}
},
{
"name": "mkdirp",
"scripts": {
"test": "tap test/*.js"
}
}
]
2 dependencies.
Use --flatten with --json to remove JSON object nesting.
> installed --format="{name} {scripts.test}" --json --flatten
[
{
"name": "inherits",
"scripts.test": "node test"
},
{
"name": "mkdirp",
"scripts.test": "tap test/*.js"
}
]
2 dependencies.
installed uses to-function to parse simple filter expressions.
For example, we can list only dependencies that depend on tap in their devDependencies:
> installed --filter="devDependencies.tap" --depth=-1
NAME VERSION REALPATH
inherits 2.0.1 /Users/timoxley/Projects/get-dependencies/installed-cli-test/node_modules/inherits
mkdirp 0.5.0 /Users/timoxley/Projects/get-dependencies/installed-cli-test/node_modules/mkdirp
2 dependencies.
