Thank You!

If you're using npm, then you're definitely building a project using the collective effort of a very large community. Why not thank some of the individuals that have helped your project the most!

This small CLI application will walk a projects entire node_modules directory, finding every package.json file along the way (including transitive dependencies). The names of each author, and the packages you depend on of theirs, will be printed at the end.

Install

npm install -g thankyou

Usage

1. Navigate to the root directory of a project (not the node_modules directory).
2. Verify all packages have been installed (run npm i if you're not sure).
3. Run thankyou

Options

Run thankyou with the -e or --extended flags to see a list of each module that an author has provided.

Example

This is the output when you run thankyou -e on this project

$ thankyou -e
