About

Package Lister prints the full dependency tree of a given NodeJS package. NodeJS developers use packages, which are modules that bundle versioning, documentation, dependencies on other packages, and more. npm, NodeJS’s package manager, is updated continually with new packages and new versions of existing ones. Given a package name, the tool fetches its complete set of dependencies from npm.

Installation

The tool works on macOS, GNU/Linux, other Unix-like operating systems, and Windows. It is packaged as a gem and requires Ruby 3.2 or later. If you don’t have the required Ruby version, see Installing Ruby.

Use this command to install:

    gem install pls

Updating

Use this command to update the package:

    gem update pls

Usage

      -v, --version                    Show version.
