viewbom

A simple npx tool for viewing a cyclonedx bill of materials for a node project

Why?

It's extremely easy to generate a CycloneDX Bill of Materials from a node project. It should be equally easy to view them and connect to resources about the packages in your BOM.

How to use this?

1. Generate a bill of materials for your project. Run this in the root folder of your project.

npm install @cyclonedx/bom -g
npx @cyclonedx/bom . -o bom.json

1. Run viewbom.

npm install viewbom -g
npx viewbom bom.json output.html

Dependencies

1. Mustache.js
