pnpm m ls command to get dependencies of the package located at a path

[vjpr]

From #1637 (comment):

Also, if I want to get the dependencies of the root package...

Is something like this possible:

pnpm m ls --filter=. ...

I want to be able to "get dependencies of the package located at a path".

I looking in pnpm i --help and it doesn't seem to have the option.

Maybe we need something like --filter-by-pkg-at-path-with-dependencies=. and --filter-by-pkg-at-path-with-dependants=.?

Filtering for dependencies/dependents is only possible by package name at the moment. So foo..., ...foo.

new syntax suggestion for filtering by path may be proposed here: https://github.com/pnpm/spec/blob/master/workspace/filtering.md

pnpm v4.6 will have filtering by changed packages. It will use [] to specify the commit/branch. And it supports the ... syntax. Maybe we could allow putting path in []? In that case we'd be able to do something like ...[.] or [../foo]...

[zkochan]

So I think there are 3 ways of doing this

1. Reuse the [] syntax. I think we can differentiate git commits/branches from paths.
2. Use some other wrappers. For instance, {./packages}.
3. Add a flag. For instance, pnpm t --filter . --include-dependencies

I think I'd vote for 2 at the moment but we can do 3 in the future as well.
