Feature
Both npm and yarn support excluding
devDependencies
from auditing.npm
yarn
yarn classic
Proposed Solution
audit-ci
supports an optional allowlist where vulnerabilities can be set by advisory id, advisory id & module name, advisory id and module path, or by module name. This PR adds a convenience option to skip all devDependencies by accessing the underlying capability of npm and yarn.By making this an opt-in feature, audit-ci would still be nudging users to include devDependencies in the audit. This differs from the discussion in this closed issue as it would support both npm and yarn and would not require implementing severity levels as it simply acts as a passthrough.
