31 | ### On the command line
|
32 |
|
33 | This is how you should use `npm-check`.
|
34 |
|
35 | #### Install
|
36 |
|
37 |
|
38 | ```bash
|
39 | $ npm install -g npm-check
|
40 | ```
|
41 |
|
42 | #### Use
|
43 |
|
44 |
|
45 | ```bash
|
46 | $ npm-check
|
47 | ```
|
48 |
|
49 | <img width="882" alt="npm-check" src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/51505/9569919/99c2412a-4f48-11e5-8c65-e9b6530ee991.png">
|
50 |
|
51 | The result should look like the screenshot, or something nice when your packages are all up-to-date and in use.
|
52 |
|
53 |
|
54 | #### Options
|
55 |
|
56 | ```
|
57 | $ npm-check --help
|
58 |
|
59 | Usage: npm-check [options]
|
60 |
|
61 | Options:
|
62 |
|
63 | -h, --help output usage information
|
64 | -V, --version output the version number
|
65 | -u, --update Interactive update.
|
66 | -g, --global Look at global modules.
|
67 | -s, --skip-unused Skip check for unused packages.
|
68 | -p, --production Ignore devDependencies.
|
69 | ```
|
70 |
|
71 |
|
72 | ![npm-check-u](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/51505/9569912/8c600cd8-4f48-11e5-8757-9387a7a21316.gif)
|
73 |
|
74 | ##### -u, --update
|
75 |
|
76 | Show an interactive UI for choosing which modules to update.
|
77 |
|
78 | Automatically updates versions referenced in the `package.json`.
|
79 |
|
80 | _Based on recommendations from the `npm` team, `npm-check` only updates using `npm install`, not `npm update`.
|
81 | To avoid using more than one version of `npm` in one directory, `npm-check` will automatically install updated modules
|
82 | using the version of `npm` installed globally._
|
83 |
|
84 | <img width="669" alt="npm-check -g -u" src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/51505/9569921/9ca3aeb0-4f48-11e5-95ab-6fdb88124007.png">
|
85 |
|
86 | ##### -g, --global
|
87 |
|
88 | Check the versions of your globally installed packages.
|
89 |
|
90 | _Tip: Use `npm-check -u -g` to do a safe interactive update of global modules, including npm itself._
|
91 |
|
92 | ##### -s, --skip-unused
|
93 |
|
94 | By default `npm-check` will let you know if any of your modules are not being used by looking at `require` statements
|
95 | in your code.
|
96 |
|
97 | This option will skip that check.
|
98 |
|
99 | This is enabled by default when using `global` or `update`.
|
100 |
|
101 | ##### -p, --production
|
102 |
|
103 | By default `npm-check` will look at packages listed as `dependencies` and `devDependencies`.
|
104 |
|
105 | This option will let it ignore outdated and unused checks for packages listed as `devDependencies`.
|
106 |
|
107 |
|
108 |
|
109 | ### API
|
110 |
|
111 | The API is here in case you want to wrap this with your CI toolset.
|
112 |
|
113 | ```js
|
114 | var npmCheck = require('npm-check');
|
115 |
|
116 | npmCheck(options)
|
117 | .then(result);
|
118 | ```
|
119 |
|
120 | #### `npmCheck(options)` returns `promise`
|
121 |
|
122 | ##### options
|
123 |
|
124 | ###### global `boolean`
|
125 |
|
126 | * default is `false`
|
127 |
|
128 | Use the globally installed packages. When `true`, the `path` is automatically set.
|
129 |
|
130 | ###### update `boolean`
|
131 |
|
132 | * default is `false`
|
133 |
|
134 | Interactive update.
|
135 |
|
136 | ###### skipUnused `boolean`
|
137 |
|
138 | * default is `false`
|
139 |
|
140 | Skip checking for unused packages.
|
141 |
|
142 | ###### ignoreDev `boolean`
|
143 |
|
144 | * default is `false`
|
145 |
|
146 | Ignore `devDependencies`.
|
147 |
|
148 | ###### path `string`
|
149 |
|
150 | * default is `cwd`
|
151 |
|
152 | Override where `npm-check` checks.
|
153 |
|
154 | #####`result`
|
155 |
|
156 | `object of module names : data`
|
157 |
|
158 | `data` looks like this:
|
159 |
|
160 | About the module
|
161 |
|
162 | * moduleName: name of the module.
|
163 | * homepage: url to the home page.
|
164 |
|
165 | Versions
|
166 |
|
167 | * latest: latest according to the registry.
|
168 | * installed: version in node_modules.
|
169 | * packageJson: version or range in package.json.
|
170 | * devDependency: Is this a devDependency?
|
171 | * usedInScripts: Is this used in the scripts section of package.json?
|
172 | * mismatch: Is the version installed not match the range in package.json?
|
173 | * semverValidRange: Is the package.json range valid?
|
174 | * semverValid: Is the installed version valid semver?
|
175 | * easyUpgrade: Will using npm install upgrade the module?
|
176 | * bump: What kind of bump is required to get the latest, such as patch, minor, major.
|
177 | * unused: Is this module used in the code?
|
178 |
|
179 |
|
180 | ### Inspiration
|
181 |
|
182 | * [npm outdated](https://www.npmjs.org/doc/cli/npm-outdated.html) - awkward output, requires --depth=0 to be grokable.
|
183 | * [david](https://github.com/alanshaw/david) - does not work with private registries.
|
184 | * [update-notifier](https://github.com/yeoman/update-notifier) - for single modules, not everything in package.json.
|
185 | * [depcheck](https://github.com/rumpl/depcheck) - only part of the puzzle. npm-check uses depcheck.
