dependency-reporter v0.2.0

Dependency reporter ·

Dependency reporter is a lightweight reporting tool for your NPM-based projects.

Installation

Dependency reporter can be installed in two ways: 1. Locally in a project (recommended):
npm install --save-dev dependency-reporter
or
yarn add --dev dependency-reporter 2. Globally:
npm install --global dependency-reporter
or
yarn global add dependency-reporter

Usage

To use dependency reporter you should navigate to any directory containing an NPM-based project. This assumes package.json and node_modules exist.

To generate a dependency report you should run one of the following commands: 1. yarn dependency-reporter for local installation, 2. dependency-reporter for global installation.

After the reporter finishes its work you can find the report in ./report/dependency-report.

Caveats

Currently, dependency reporter is only capable of working inside of an NPM-based project and produces one format of the report - the Confluence Wiki format.

Also, the reporter assumes all packages come from the main NPM registry. There's no support for self-hosted repositories yet.

All license links lead to the Open Source Initiative definitions and there's no way of configuring it at the moment.

Future

1. Add more formats:
   • Markdown
   • JSON
   • ...
2. Add configuration options:
   • Custom package.json location
   • Custom node_modules location
   • Dependency overriding
   • License warnings and errors
3. Support for self-hosted repositories
4. ...
