faves

Audit your machine to generate a list of the npm packages you use most.

faves is a command line tool. Give it a directory and it will find every package.json file that is not inside a node_modules or .git directory. It inspects the dependencies property of each file and keeps a running tally of dependencies. When it's done, a list npm packages names is printed to stdout, sorted by count.

If you run faves without passing a directory argument, it will default to ~. This will probably be a bit slow, but you'll get results for npm project on your machine!

Installation

Download node at nodejs.org and install it, if you haven't already.

npm install faves --global

Usage

# Audit all top-level package.json files in ~
# (ignoring node_modules directories)
faves

# Audit a specific directory
faves ~/projects
