| <h1><a href="../cli/npm-view.html">npm-view</a></h1> <p>View registry info</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h2> |
| |
| <pre><code>npm view <name>[@<version>] [<field>[.<subfield>]...] |
| npm v <name>[@<version>] [<field>[.<subfield>]...]</code></pre> |
| |
| <h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2> |
| |
| <p>This command shows data about a package and prints it to the stream |
| referenced by the <code>outfd</code> config, which defaults to stdout.</p> |
| |
| <p>To show the package registry entry for the <code>connect</code> package, you can do |
| this:</p> |
| |
| <pre><code>npm view connect</code></pre> |
| |
| <p>The default version is "latest" if unspecified.</p> |
| |
| <p>Field names can be specified after the package descriptor. |
| For example, to show the dependencies of the <code>ronn</code> package at version |
| 0.3.5, you could do the following:</p> |
| |
| <pre><code>npm view ronn@0.3.5 dependencies</code></pre> |
| |
| <p>You can view child field by separating them with a period. |
| To view the git repository URL for the latest version of npm, you could |
| do this:</p> |
| |
| <pre><code>npm view npm repository.url</code></pre> |
| |
| <p>This makes it easy to view information about a dependency with a bit of |
| shell scripting. For example, to view all the data about the version of |
| opts that ronn depends on, you can do this:</p> |
| |
| <pre><code>npm view opts@$(npm view ronn dependencies.opts)</code></pre> |
| |
| <p>For fields that are arrays, requesting a non-numeric field will return |
| all of the values from the objects in the list. For example, to get all |
| the contributor names for the "express" project, you can do this:</p> |
| |
| <pre><code>npm view express contributors.email</code></pre> |
| |
| <p>You may also use numeric indices in square braces to specifically select |
| an item in an array field. To just get the email address of the first |
| contributor in the list, you can do this:</p> |
| |
| <pre><code>npm view express contributors[0].email</code></pre> |
| |
| <p>Multiple fields may be specified, and will be printed one after another. |
| For exampls, to get all the contributor names and email addresses, you |
| can do this:</p> |
| |
| <pre><code>npm view express contributors.name contributors.email</code></pre> |
| |
| <p>"Person" fields are shown as a string if they would be shown as an |
| object. So, for example, this will show the list of npm contributors in |
| the shortened string format. (See <code><a href="../files/package.json.html">package.json(5)</a></code> for more on this.)</p> |
| |
| <pre><code>npm view npm contributors</code></pre> |
| |
| <p>If a version range is provided, then data will be printed for every |
| matching version of the package. This will show which version of jsdom |
| was required by each matching version of yui3:</p> |
| |
| <pre><code>npm view yui3@'>0.5.4' dependencies.jsdom</code></pre> |
| |
| <h2 id="OUTPUT">OUTPUT</h2> |
| |
| <p>If only a single string field for a single version is output, then it |
| will not be colorized or quoted, so as to enable piping the output to |
| another command. If the field is an object, it will be output as a JavaScript object literal.</p> |
| |
| <p>If the --json flag is given, the outputted fields will be JSON.</p> |
| |
| <p>If the version range matches multiple versions, than each printed value |
| will be prefixed with the version it applies to.</p> |
| |
| <p>If multiple fields are requested, than each of them are prefixed with |
| the field name.</p> |
