> fund.read([opts]) -> Promise<Object>Reads funding info from a npm install and returns a promise for a tree object that only contains packages in which funding info is defined.
Options:
countOnly: Uses the tree-traversal logic from npm fund but skips over
any obj definition and just returns an obj containing { length } - useful for
things such as printing a 6 packages are looking for funding msg.workspaces: Array<String> List of workspaces names to filter for,
the result will only include a subset of the resulting tree that includes
only the nodes that are children of the listed workspaces names.path, registry and more Arborist options.> fund.readTree(tree, [opts]) -> Promise<Object>Reads funding info from a given install tree and returns a tree object that only contains packages in which funding info is defined.
tree: An arborist tree to be used, e.g:const Arborist = require('@npmcli/arborist')
const { readTree } = require('libnpmfund')
const arb = new Arborist({ path: process.cwd() })
const tree = await arb.loadActual()
return readTree(tree, { countOnly: false })
Options:
countOnly: Uses the tree-traversal logic from npm fund but skips over
any obj definition and just returns an obj containing { length } - useful for
things such as printing a 6 packages are looking for funding msg.> fund.normalizeFunding(funding) -> ObjectFrom a funding <object|string|array>, retrieves normalized funding objects
containing a url property.
e.g:
normalizeFunding('http://example.com')
// => {
url: 'http://example.com'
}
> fund.isValidFunding(funding) -> BooleanReturns <true> if funding is a valid funding object, e.g:
isValidFunding({ foo: 'not a valid funding obj' })
// => false
isValidFunding('http://example.com')
// => true
