For example, to view all the data about the version of -opts that ronn depends on, you can do this: - - npm view opts@$(npm view ronn dependencies.opts) - -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: - - npm view express contributors.email - -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: - - npm view express contributors[0].email - -Multiple fields may be specified, and will be printed one after another. -For example, to get all the contributor names and email addresses, you -can do this: - - npm view express contributors.name contributors.email - -"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 `package.json(5)` for more on this.) - - npm view npm contributors - -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: - - npm view yui3@'>0.5.4' dependencies.jsdom - -To show the `connect` package version history, you can do -this: - - npm view connect versions - -## OUTPUT - -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. - -If the --json flag is given, the outputted fields will be JSON. - -If the version range matches multiple versions, than each printed value -will be prefixed with the version it applies to. - -If multiple fields are requested, than each of them are prefixed with -the field name. - -## SEE ALSO - -* npm-search(1) -* npm-registry(7) -* npm-config(1) -* npm-config(7) -* npmrc(5) -* npm-docs(1) |
