As a Front-End Engineer: 8 Useful Npm Coding Techniques That You Should Use
1.#
Open a package’s documentation page
My friends, it would have
saved me a lot of time if I had known this trick earlier.
In the past, when I wanted
to query the usage documentation of lodash, I always searched for its
address through google.
In fact, npm can help you
achieve this goal quickly. You only need to run npm docs xxx to
quickly open xxx's documents
npm docs
[package-name] // npm docs lodash
2.# Open a package’s GitHub
repo
As a programmer, I guess
you also like github, which is a treasure base for programmers.
Sometimes I want to know
the source code of a package, can I only search for the package name on github?
The answer is no, npm can
help you quickly open a package's GitHub repo
npm repo
[package-name] // npm repo lodash
3.# Check packages for
outdated dependencies
Run the npm outdated command
in your project and it will check all packages for the current version, the
required version and the latest version.
npm outdated
4.# View all historical
versions of a package
Do you know how to view all
historical versions of a package?
Yes, we can do this through
npm’s online site.
That’s like this link
below…
https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodash?activeTab=versions
Is there another way? It’s
amazing, all you need is this one-line command.
npm v
[package-name] versions // npm v lodash versions
5.# Find risky packages in
your project
from npm The audit command submits a
description of the dependencies configured in your project to your default
registry and asks for a report of known vulnerabilities. If any vulnerabilities
are found, then the impact and appropriate remediation will be calculated. If
the fix argument is provided, then remediations will be applied to the package
tree.
npm audit
6.# View details of a
package
Well! Maybe this command is
not very useful, but you can use it to learn a lot about a package, such as its
author, contact information, etc.
npm v
[package-name] // npm v lodash
7.# npm xmas
I never thought npm would
be so interesting, haha!
When you run npm xmas,
you will see a Christmas tree.
npm xmas
8.# npm visnup
My friends, if you know the
reason, please tell me. Why does a person appear.
npm visnup
Finally
Thanks for reading.
