npm-deep-ls v1.0.2

npm-deep-ls

npm-deep-ls is a command-line tool that allows you to search for a specified package across all package.json files in a directory and its subdirectories, displaying the dependency tree for each matching package.json.

Usage

There are two ways to use npm-deep-ls:

1. Installing globally and running from a directory

Install the package globally:

npm install -g npm-deep-ls

Then, run the command from any directory:

npm-deep-ls <package-name>

2. Running with npx

Without installing the package, run the following command from any directory:

npx npm-deep-ls <package-name>

Replace <package-name> with the name of the package you want to search for.

Example

If you want to find all instances of the lodash package in a directory and its subdirectories, run:

npx npm-deep-ls lodash

/path/to/your/project/package.json:
my-project@1.0.0 /path/to/your/project
└── lodash@4.17.21

/path/to/your/project/subdir1/package.json:
No instances of lodash found.

/path/to/your/project/subdir2/package.json:
my-subproject@1.0.0 /path/to/your/project/subdir2
└─┬ some-dependency@1.2.3
  └── lodash@4.17.21

The output shows the path of each package.json containing lodash and the associated dependency tree.
