Node-cdx-bom NPM

node-cdx-bom

This project provides a CLI tool (via NPM and Docker) that may be used to generate a CycloneDX Software Bill-of-Materials (BOM) for a NodeJS project/repo.

Installing from NPM

npm install -g @jupiterone/node-cdx-bom

NOTE: this tool relies on cyclonedx-cli. The binary should be installed as cyclonedx somewhere in your PATH prior to running the node-cdx-bom command.

Building a docker image

docker build -t jupiterone/node-cdx-bom:latest .

Running node-cdx-bom

Try:

cd my-project-repo
node-cdx-bom
 - or -
docker run -v $PWD:/src jupiterone/node-cdx-bom /src/bom.json

This will generate a bom.json file in your project root.

NOTE: you must specify /src as your Docker volume mount target (-v $PWD:/src)!

Assumptions

You're only interested in generating a BOM for packages you actually use in production and devDependencies aren't of interest/in-scope. These are ignored.
node_modules are present (You've run npm install or yarn install first.)
node_modules of all sub-packages of interest are present (if monorepo)
deploy/ packages (if any) are out-of-scope, and should be ignored.

The discovered packages that remain are, therefore, required. These are marked as such by setting the property scope: 'required' for each of the BOM components[].
