whatif v0.1.3

whatif

whatif discovers dependencies that need to be updated after updating a package.

Installation

$ npm install -g whatif

Quick start

From time to time, if you update a package, you also need to update any dependant packages, and any dependant packages of the dependant packages, and… it's turtles all the way down.

To simplify this task you can run whatif within the directory that contains all of your repositories. Provide the name of an updated package as a parameter.

If a directory with the given name exists, whatif extracts the module's name from the package.json file from this directory. If not, the given string is used literally:

$ whatif <package>

As a result whatif will give you a list of all packages where the given package is either referenced as a dependency or as a devDependency in the appropriate package.json file.

Please note that if you use tab completion, the package name may have a trailing slash accidentally. whatif will remove it automatically, so it's perfectly fine to run

$ whatif lodash/

instead of the following command.

$ whatif lodash

Running the build

To build this module use roboter.

$ bot
