pretty-npm-audit

A Nodejs library that provides a pretty version of npm audits

Install

$ npm install pretty-npm-audit

Params

• dirPath (String)

  Directory path of the project to audit (Defaults current directory)

• sort (String)

  Sort output audits ascending from least to most serverity or descending from most to least severity.

  Options:

  asc - (String) Ascending severity low to high 
  dsc - (String) Descending severity high to low (Default)

• jsonPretty (Boolean)

  Return a json object hash with severities as keys and arrays of audit strings in pretty tabular format. The keys are sorted depending if sort key is provided. (Default: false)

• json (Boolean)

  Return a json object hash with severities as keys and arrays of audit data used to populate pretty tables in json format. The keys are sorted depending if sort key is provided. (Default: false)

• auditLevel (String)

  The minimum level of audit to get (Default low) Options: Any of the levels in array ["low", "moderate", "high", "critical"];

• debug

  Whether to output logging of action running. (Default false)

Usage

Example 1

const prettyNpmAudit = require("pretty-audit");

prettyNpmAudit({
    dirPath: "./vulnerable-package",
  });
  

const results = await prettyNpmAudit.audit();

This produces:

A string containing a list of formatted tables in ascending order depending on the sort string

Example 2

const prettyNpmAudit = require("pretty-audit");

prettyNpmAudit({
    dirPath: "./vulnerable-package",
    jsonPretty: true,
  });
  

const results = await prettyNpmAudit.audit();

This produces:

A json object hash with severities as keys and arrays of audit strings similar to the ones on example 1. The keys are sorted depending if sort key is provided.

{ 
  "critical": [],
  "high": [],
  "moderate": [],
  "low": [],
  "info": [] 
}

Example 3

const prettyNpmAudit = require("pretty-audit");

prettyNpmAudit({
    dirPath: "./vulnerable-package",
    json: true,
  });
  

const results = await prettyNpmAudit.audit();

This produces:

A json object hash with severities as keys and arrays of audit json data used to populate the pretty tables described in example 1 and 2. The root level serverity keys can be sorted depending if sort key is provided.
