npm query

Print an array of dependency objects using CSS-like selectors. More information: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-query.

• Print direct dependencies:
  npm query ':root > *'
• Print all direct production/development dependencies:
  npm query ':root > .{{prod|dev}}'
• Print dependencies with a specific name:
  npm query '#{{package}}'
• Print dependencies with a specific name and within a semantic versioning range:
  npm query #{{package}}@{{semantic_version}}
• Print dependencies which have no dependencies:
  npm query ':empty'
• Find all dependencies with postinstall scripts and uninstall them:
  npm query ":attr(scripts, [postinstall])" | jq 'map(.name) | join("\n")' -r | xargs -I {} npm uninstall {}
• Find all Git dependencies and print which application requires them:
  npm query ":type(git)" | jq 'map(.name)' | xargs -I {} npm why {}
