query node_modules
π A simple cli utility for querying the node_modules
directory
most bugs are caused by the assumptions we didn't realize we were making.
When debugging a problem, I sometimes find myself checking what are the installed versions of the modules within node_modules
directory. Current solutions like running npm list
are not fast enough and prints too much clutter, checking the version in the package.json
takes a bit more effort and doesn't give you more information regarding other occurrences of this module.
qnm aims to get this information fast and tries to filter only the important parts, while supporting both yarn & npm.
- π¬ Tab completions
- β¨ Interactive fuzzy-search
- π€ Match all packages with a specific string
βοΈ Explain why a package was installed
npm i --global qnm
qnm will also install tab completions during post install.
qnm [module]
For example, if you want to see the installed versions of lodash
:
qnm lodash
And you'll see something like that:
lodash
βββ 4.17.5
βββ¬ cli-table2
β βββ 3.10.1
βββ¬ karma
βββ 3.10.1
Which means you have 3 occurrences of lodash in your node_modules
:
./node_module/lodash
./node_module/cli-table2/node_modules/lodash
./node_module/karma/node_modules/lodash
Use qnm
command without arguments to trigger an fzf
like fuzzy search.
- Start typing to filter the matches from your
node_modules
- Use arrows to move cursor up and down
Enter
key to select the item,CTRL-C
/ESC
to exitTAB
andShift-TAB
to mark multiple items
currently only works if you installed with npm
Add information regarding why this package was installed in the first place, by showing its dependent packages.
alias: ls
Returns a list of all modules in node_modules directory.
qnm list
Optional arguments | Description |
---|---|
--deps |
List the versions of direct dependencies and devDependencies. |
Works like grep, and match's any module that includes the supplied string.
For example, i want to see which eslint plugins i have installed:
> qnm match eslint-plug
eslint-plugin-babel
βββ 3.3.0
eslint-plugin-lodash
βββ 2.6.1
eslint-plugin-mocha
βββ 4.12.1
eslint-plugin-react
βββ 6.10.3
