  132. <pre lang="bash"><code>npm view [&lt;@scope&gt;/]&lt;name&gt;[@&lt;version&gt;] [&lt;field&gt;[.&lt;subfield&gt;]...]
  133. aliases: info, show, v
  134. </code></pre>
  135. <h3 id="description">Description</h3>
  136. <p>This command shows data about a package and prints it to stdout.</p>
  137. <p>As an example, to view information about the <code>connect</code> package from the registry, you would run:</p>
  138. <pre lang="bash"><code>npm view connect
  139. </code></pre>
  140. <p>The default version is <code>"latest"</code> if unspecified.</p>
  141. <p>Field names can be specified after the package descriptor.
  142. For example, to show the dependencies of the <code>ronn</code> package at version
  143. <code>0.3.5</code>, you could do the following:</p>
  144. <pre lang="bash"><code>npm view ronn@0.3.5 dependencies
  145. </code></pre>
  146. <p>You can view child fields by separating them with a period.
  147. To view the git repository URL for the latest version of <code>npm</code>, you would run the following command:</p>
  148. <pre lang="bash"><code>npm view npm repository.url
  149. </code></pre>
  150. <p>This makes it easy to view information about a dependency with a bit of
  151. shell scripting. For example, to view all the data about the version of
  152. <code>opts</code> that <code>ronn</code> depends on, you could write the following:</p>
  153. <pre lang="bash"><code>npm view opts@$(npm view ronn dependencies.opts)
  154. </code></pre>
  155. <p>For fields that are arrays, requesting a non-numeric field will return
  156. all of the values from the objects in the list. For example, to get all
  157. the contributor email addresses for the <code>express</code> package, you would run:</p>
  158. <pre lang="bash"><code>npm view express contributors.email
  159. </code></pre>
  160. <p>You may also use numeric indices in square braces to specifically select
  161. an item in an array field. To just get the email address of the first
  162. contributor in the list, you can run:</p>
  163. <pre lang="bash"><code>npm view express contributors[0].email
  164. </code></pre>
  165. <p>Multiple fields may be specified, and will be printed one after another.
  166. For example, to get all the contributor names and email addresses, you
  167. can do this:</p>
  168. <pre lang="bash"><code>npm view express contributors.name contributors.email
  169. </code></pre>
  170. <p>“Person” fields are shown as a string if they would be shown as an
  171. object. So, for example, this will show the list of <code>npm</code> contributors in
  172. the shortened string format. (See <a href="../configuring-npm/package-json.html"><code>package.json</code></a> for more on this.)</p>
  173. <pre lang="bash"><code>npm view npm contributors
  174. </code></pre>
  175. <p>If a version range is provided, then data will be printed for every
  176. matching version of the package. This will show which version of <code>jsdom</code>
  177. was required by each matching version of <code>yui3</code>:</p>
  178. <pre lang="bash"><code>npm view yui3@'&gt;0.5.4' dependencies.jsdom
  179. </code></pre>
  180. <p>To show the <code>connect</code> package version history, you can do
  181. this:</p>
  182. <pre lang="bash"><code>npm view connect versions
  183. </code></pre>

  193. <p>Whether or not to output JSON data, rather than the normal output.</p>
  194. <ul>
  195. <li>In <code>npm pkg set</code> it enables parsing set values with JSON.parse() before
  196. saving them to your <code>package.json</code>.</li>

  202. <ul>
  203. <li>Default:</li>
  204. <li>Type: String (can be set multiple times)</li>
  205. </ul>
  206. <p>Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
  207. current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
  208. this configuration option.</p>
  209. <p>Valid values for the <code>workspace</code> config are either:</p>
  210. <ul>
  211. <li>Workspace names</li>
  212. <li>Path to a workspace directory</li>
  213. <li>Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
  214. workspaces within that folder)</li>
  215. </ul>
  216. <p>When set for the <code>npm init</code> command, this may be set to the folder of a
  217. workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
  218. brand new workspace within the project.</p>
  219. <p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>

  224. <li>Default: null</li>
  225. <li>Type: null or Boolean</li>
  226. </ul>
  227. <p>Set to true to run the command in the context of <strong>all</strong> configured
  228. workspaces.</p>
  229. <p>Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like <code>install</code> to
  230. ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:</p>
  231. <ul>
  232. <li>Commands that operate on the <code>node_modules</code> tree (install, update, etc.)
  233. will link workspaces into the <code>node_modules</code> folder. - Commands that do
  234. other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
  235. <em>unless</em> one or more workspaces are specified in the <code>workspace</code> config.</li>
  236. </ul>

  243. <li>Type: Boolean</li>
  244. </ul>
  245. <p>Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.</p>
  246. <p>When false, specifying individual workspaces via the <code>workspace</code> config, or
  247. all workspaces via the <code>workspaces</code> flag, will cause npm to operate only on
  248. the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.</p>

  253. <p>If only a single string field for a single version is output, then it
  254. will not be colorized or quoted, to enable piping the output to
  255. another command. If the field is an object, it will be output as a JavaScript object literal.</p>
  256. <p>If the <code>--json</code> flag is given, the outputted fields will be JSON.</p>
  257. <p>If the version range matches multiple versions then each printed value
  258. will be prefixed with the version it applies to.</p>
  259. <p>If multiple fields are requested, then each of them is prefixed with
  260. the field name.</p>
