npmgraph-cli

npmgraph-cli

Command-line interface for launching the npmgraph web site to show module dependency graphs.

Please note that the npmgraph-cli does not render dependency graphs directly. It's simply a convenience (albeit a pretty powerful one) for opening npmgraph.js.org URLs in accordance with the npmgraph URL API.

Getting Started

To install:

npm install --global npmgraph-cli

To see command help:

npmgraph -h

Viewing dependencies for NPM modules

A single module:

npmgraph express

To see multiple NPM modules:

npmgraph minimatch cross-env rimraf

Viewing dependencies for local package.json files

npmgraph -f my-project/package.json

Note: If your local package.json files depend on other local package.json files, you'll need to include each file on the command line. For example:

npmgraph -f my-project/package.json my-project/packages/*/package.json

Viewing dependencies for web-hosted files

npmgraph has a limited ability to work with files online, however the URL in question needs to be CORS accessible. (Future versions of the npmgraph CLI may remove this restriction.)
