vlt view

Usage:

$ vlt view <pkg>[@<version>] [<field>]
$ vlt view <pkg>[@<version>] [--view=human | json]

View registry information about a package: manifest of the resolved version, dist-tags, maintainers, versions and, when available, vlt security scores and alerts.

Aliases: info, show.

Local package

. views the package in the current directory (nearest package.json, walking up). Running vlt view with no arguments does the same.

$ vlt view .
$ vlt view .@1.2.3
$ vlt view . version

• . looks up the local package name in the configured registry (default dist-tag); .@<version> picks a version or tag.
• Private packages ("private": true) are never looked up in the registry; their local package.json info is shown instead.
• Path specs (./pkg, file:pkg) show that directory's package.json, relative to the project root.

Fields

Pass a field to print only its value. Nested fields use dot-prop syntax:

$ vlt view express dist-tags.latest
$ vlt view express dependencies.debug

Options

--view=<human | json>

Output format. Defaults to human, or json when not a tty.
