<h3 id="description">Description</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>This command will print the chain of dependencies causing a given package
|
||
|
|
to be installed in the current project.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If one or more package specs are provided, then only packages matching
|
||
|
|
one of the specifiers will have their relationships explained.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The package spec can also refer to a folder within <code>./node_modules</code></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, running <code>npm explain glob</code> within npm's source tree will show:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">glob@7.1.6
|
||
|
|
node_modules/glob
|
||
|
|
glob@"^7.1.4" from the root project
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
glob@7.1.1 dev
|
||
|
|
node_modules/tacks/node_modules/glob
|
||
|
|
glob@"^7.0.5" from rimraf@2.6.2
|
||
|
|
node_modules/tacks/node_modules/rimraf
|
||
|
|
rimraf@"^2.6.2" from tacks@1.3.0
|
||
|
|
node_modules/tacks
|
||
|
|
dev tacks@"^1.3.0" from the root project
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>To explain just the package residing at a specific folder, pass that as the
|
||
|
|
argument to the command. This can be useful when trying to figure out
|
||
|
|
exactly why a given dependency is being duplicated to satisfy conflicting
|
||
|
|
version requirements within the project.</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">$ npm explain node_modules/nyc/node_modules/find-up
|
||
|
|
find-up@3.0.0 dev
|
||
|
|
node_modules/nyc/node_modules/find-up
|

|
|

current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by

this configuration option.</p>

<ul>

|
<li>Workspace names</li>
|

|
|
<li>Path to a workspace directory</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
|
||
|
|
workspaces within that folder)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>When set for the <code>npm init</code> command, this may be set to the folder of a
|
||
|
|
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
|
||
|
|
brand new workspace within the project.</p>
|

<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
