I wrote a simple module that returns the dependencies of a package.json file.
It has some additional options that you can pass in. Check the project readme for more info.
Installation
npm install read-packages Usage
const readPackages = require('read-packages'); (async()=>{ console.log(await readPackages()); //=> {dependencies: {foo: '^1.0.0',..}, devDependencies: {bar: '^2.0.0',...}} console.log(await readPackages({dir: './some/other/directory'})); //=> {dependencies: {...}, devDependencies: {...}} console.log(await readPackages({removePrefix: true})); //=> {dependencies: {foo: '1.0.0',..}, devDependencies: {bar: '2.0.0',...}} console.log(await readPackages({removePrefix: true, flattenPackages: true})); //=> {foo: '1.0.0',bar: '2.0.0',...} })();

Install

const readPackages = require('read-packages'); (async()=>{ console.log(await readPackages()); //=> {dependencies: {foo: '^1.0.0',..}, devDependencies: {bar: '^2.0.0',...}} console.log(await readPackages({dir: './some/other/directory'})); //=> {dependencies: {...}, devDependencies: {...}} console.log(await readPackages({removePrefix: true})); //=> {dependencies: {foo: '1.0.0',..}, devDependencies: {bar: '2.0.0',...}} console.log(await readPackages({removePrefix: true, flattenPackages: true})); //=> {foo: '1.0.0',bar: '2.0.0',...} })(); Usage without async
The module has a sync property to use the lib without async. All the other options works just the same.
const readPackages = require('read-packages'); console.log(readPackages.…[PS: Thought someone might find it a handy tool so I made a quick post. Thanks for reading 🦄 👋]
