Can be used to detect packages of authors, whose work you want to fund, or who you want to avoid. ## Synopsis Find all packages installed in the local `node_modules` authored by me, or with `prantlf` in the repository URL: npx find-npm-by-author -A prantl -R prantlf And the same programmatically: ```js import { findByAuthor } from 'find-npm-by-author' const { directories } = await findByAuthor({ authors: ['prantl'], repositories: ['prantlf'] }) for (const directory of directories) console.log(directory) ``` ## Installation The command-line tool is usually installed globally. The package can be installed locally too for the programmatic usage. You can use your favourite package manager like [NPM], [PNPM] or [Yarn]. Make sure, that you use [Node.js] version 10 or newer: ```sh npm i find-npm-by-author pnpm i find-npm-by-author yarn add find-npm-by-author ``` ## Command Line Paths to directories paths with matching packages will be printed on the console. find-npm-by-author [option...] Options: -A|--author word to match in the name of the author -H|--homepage word to match in the home page URL -R|--repository word to match in the repository or bugs URL -p|--path path to modules to search (default: node_modules) -V|--version print version number -h|--help print usage instructions Words will be matched as expressions with a word boundary, enclosed by \b.
