This is a Node.js module available through the npm registry.
Installation is done using the
npm install
command:
$ npm install --save-dev npm-dependency-analyzer
:warning: In order for the plugin to be executed successfully, it needs to have all dependencies installed by the user install all dependencies before using any functionality provided:
$ npm install
This plugin provides an executable that is placed into "node_modules/.bin" folder of any project it is dependent. This executable can be used in the script property. This command is to be used in the build process of a project, as demonstrated in the example below of a package.json:
{
"name":"example-project",
"version":"1.0.0",
"description":"Example of a project package.json",
"main":"index.js",
"bin":{
"example-command":"./bin/example-command.js"
},
"scripts":{
"prebuild":"npm install && rimraf build/",
"build":"npm run lint && npm test && npm-dependency-analyzer | bunyan",
"lint":"eslint .",
"test":"mocha"
},
"engines":{
"node":">=8.0.0",
"npm":">=5.7.0"
},
"keywords":[
"Example",
"Plugin"

"dependencies":{
"async":"^2.6.0",
"debug":"^3.1.0",
"executive":"^1.5.13",
"nsp":"3.2.1"
},
"devDependencies":{
"eslint":"^4.19.0",
"eslint-config-standard":"^11.0.0",
"eslint-plugin-import":"^2.10.0",
"eslint-plugin-node":"^6.0.1",
"eslint-plugin-promise":"^3.7.0",
"eslint-plugin-standard":"^3.0.1",
"mocha":"^5.0.4",
"rimraf":"^2.6.2"
}
}
This module uses the logging library bunyan. Every log will be represented as a json object. Bunyan besides providing a Logging API, it provides a CLI tool that parses the json and prettifies it. As shown in the code above the developer can pipe the output of the executable to the cli tool -> "npm-dependency-analyzer | bunyan". After making the necessary adjustments to the package.json, the execution of the build script will have the plugin generate a report based on the findings. This report will then be sent to the central system and stored there. Then the report can be accessed through the following link: http://35.234.147.77/
