<h3 id="description">Description</h3>
|
|
<p>This command will print to stdout all the versions of packages that are
|
|
installed, as well as their dependencies when <code>--all</code> is specified, in a
|
|
tree structure.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: to get a "bottoms up" view of why a given package is included in the
|
|
tree at all, use <a href="../commands/npm-explain.html"><code>npm explain</code></a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Positional arguments are <code>name@version-range</code> identifiers, which will limit
|
|
the results to only the paths to the packages named. Note that nested
|
|
packages will <em>also</em> show the paths to the specified packages. For
|
|
example, running <code>npm ls promzard</code> in npm's source tree will show:</p>
|
|
<pre lang="bash"><code>npm@8.5.0 /path/to/npm
|
|
└─┬ init-package-json@0.0.4
|
|
└── promzard@0.1.5
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>It will print out extraneous, missing, and invalid packages.</p>
|
|
<p>If a project specifies git urls for dependencies these are shown
|
|
in parentheses after the name@version to make it easier for users to
|
|
recognize potential forks of a project.</p>
|
|
<p>The tree shown is the logical dependency tree, based on package
|
|
dependencies, not the physical layout of your <code>node_modules</code> folder.</p>
|
|
<p>When run as <code>ll</code> or <code>la</code>, it shows extended information by default.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="note-design-changes-pending">Note: Design Changes Pending</h3>
|
|
<p>The <code>npm ls</code> command's output and behavior made a <em>ton</em> of sense when npm
|
|
created a <code>node_modules</code> folder that naively nested every dependency. In
|
|
such a case, the logical dependency graph and physical tree of packages on
|
|
disk would be roughly identical.</p>
|
|
<p>With the advent of automatic install-time deduplication of dependencies in
|
|
npm v3, the <code>ls</code> output was modified to display the logical dependency
|
|
graph as a tree structure, since this was more useful to most users.
|
|
However, without using <code>npm ls -l</code>, it became impossible show <em>where</em> a
|
|
package was actually installed much of the time!</p>
|
|
<p>With the advent of automatic installation of <code>peerDependencies</code> in npm v7,
|
|
this gets even more curious, as <code>peerDependencies</code> are logically
|
|
"underneath" their dependents in the dependency graph, but are always
|
|
physically at or above their location on disk.</p>
|
|
<p>Also, in the years since npm got an <code>ls</code> command (in version 0.0.2!),
|
|
dependency graphs have gotten much larger as a general rule. Therefore, in
|
|
order to avoid dumping an excessive amount of content to the terminal, <code>npm ls</code> now only shows the <em>top</em> level dependencies, unless <code>--all</code> is
|
|
provided.</p>
|
|
<p>A thorough re-examination of the use cases, intention, behavior, and output
|
|
of this command, is currently underway. Expect significant changes to at
|
|
least the default human-readable <code>npm ls</code> output in npm v8.</p>

|

<p>When set for the <code>npm init</code> command, this may be set to the folder of a

<p>Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like <code>install</code> to

ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Commands that operate on the <code>node_modules</code> tree (install, update, etc.)
|
|
will link workspaces into the <code>node_modules</code> folder. - Commands that do

other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
|
|
<em>unless</em> one or more workspaces are specified in the <code>workspace</code> config.</li>

<p>Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.</p>
|
|
<p>When false, specifying individual workspaces via the <code>workspace</code> config, or

all workspaces via the <code>workspaces</code> flag, will cause npm to operate only on
|
|
the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.</p>
