depcost

Introduction

depcost (abbr. dc) is a cli tool for you to judge whether a node module deserve your favor via knowing the time and space cost of a dependency.

Features

• With Require time, you will know if the dependency you are using now is likely to slow down your node application.
• With Install size of a dependency, you will know if the dependency is too cumbersome and wastes your disk.
• Quickly specify the latest released versions.

Install

npm install depcost -g

Usage

Using depcost or its shortcut dc:

Usage:
  $ depcost [...pkgs]

For more info, run any command with the `--help` flag:
