package-deps

This is deprecated, as it was designed for how NPM used to download packages. Unless you have a really version of NPM, don't use this.

Examine a package.json's dependencies and find all sub-depdendcies.

Installation

npm install package-deps

Example

var packageDeps = require('package-deps');
var deps = packageDeps.findAll('./package.json');

var util = require('util');
console.log(util.inspect(deps, {colors:true, depth: null}));

The above has the following output:

{ dependcies:
   { async: '0.2.9',
     debug: '0.7.4',
     have: '0.2.3',
     lodash: '2.4.1' },
  packageJson: '/Users/edmond/src/package-deps/package.json',
  async: { packageJson: '/Users/edmond/src/package-deps/node_modules/async/package.json' },
  debug:
   { dependcies: {},
     packageJson: '/Users/edmond/src/package-deps/node_modules/debug/package.json' },
  have: { packageJson: '/Users/edmond/src/package-deps/node_modules/have/package.json' },
  lodash: { packageJson: '/Users/edmond/src/package-deps/node_modules/lodash/package.json' } }

findAll(pathToPackageJson [, depth])

Finds all dependancies for a path to a package.json. It will read the dependencies and find all the sub-dependencies.

Params:

• String pathToPackageJson Path to the package.json file.
• Number [depth] How far down the dependency tree to go. Optional. If not defined, all dependencies are found. If 1, only the top-level dependencies are found.

Return:

• Object An object describing the dependencies.
