🔍 A simple cli utility for querying the node_modules directory

Build Status NPM version License

fuzzy-search

Why?

most bugs are caused by the assumptions we didn't realize we were making.

When debugging a problem, I sometimes find myself checking what are the installed versions of the modules within node_modules directory. Current solutions like running npm list are not fast enough and prints too much clutter, checking the version in the package.json takes a bit more effort and doesn't give you more information regarding other occurrences of this module.

qnm aims to get this information fast and tries to filter only the important parts, while supporting both yarn & npm.

Features

  • 💬 Tab completions
  • ✨ Interactive fuzzy-search
  • 🔤 Match all packages with a specific string
  • ⁉️ Explain why a package was installed
  • 📚 Supports monorepos

Installation

npm i --global qnm

Usage

qnm [module]

For example, if you want to see the installed versions of lodash:

qnm lodash

And you'll see something like that:

lodash
├── 4.17.5
├─┬ cli-table2
│ └── 3.10.1
└─┬ karma
  └── 3.10.1

Which means you have 3 occurrences of lodash in your node_modules:

  1. ./node_module/lodash
  2. ./node_module/cli-table2/node_modules/lodash
  3. ./node_module/karma/node_modules/lodash

Fuzzy-search

Use qnm command without arguments to trigger an fzf like fuzzy search.

  • Start typing to filter the matches from your node_modules
  • Use arrows to move cursor up and down
  • Enter key to select the item, CTRL-C / ESC to exit
  • TAB and Shift-TAB to mark multiple items

Options

-w, --why

Add information regarding why this package was installed in the first place, by showing its dependent packages.

-o , --open

Open the module's package.json file with the default editor.

-d, --debug

See full error messages, mostly for debugging.

--disable-colors

Disables the most of colors and styling. E.g. version colors.

Commands

list

alias: ls

Returns a list of all modules in node_modules directory.

qnm list
Optional arguments Description

match

└── 2.6.1

eslint-plugin-mocha
└── 4.12.1
