🐶 Snooping around Node.js code dependencies

A cli to get the basics of other Node.js code at a glance and get ideas on what to use in your next project.

Lists the URL and description of the dependencies.

It's also useful to use it for your own code, e.g. to quickly remember which dependency was used in a project.

$ snoop https://raw.githubusercontent.com/remy/nodemon/main/package.json

$ snoopm -v .

• Snooping the development dependencies:
