Yes, you can use the "dependedUpon" view in the couchdb. For example, to find all the packages that depend on "request": http://isaacs.iriscouch.com/registry/_design/app/_view/dependedUpon?startkey=[%22request%22]&endkey=[%22request%22,{}]&group_level=2 That's what the npmjs.org site uses. Note

I'm actually looking for the opposite... the dependants, not the dependencies. For a given package x, it's the list of all the packages that depend on x. G On Sat, May 4, 2013 at 1:33 PM, Martin Cooper wrote: > The simplest way is to grab the package metadata from the registry with > this URL

The simplest way is to grab the package metadata from the registry with this URL: http://registry.npmjs.org//latest That will get you a JSON version of the same object you see with 'npm view ', at which point you can just pluck out the 'dependencies' object. -- Martin Cooper On Sat, May 4, 2

[nodejs] api in npm for getting the number or list of dependent packages?

2013-05-04 Thread Gregg Caines
Hey all, does anyone know if npm has an API (or couchdb view) for getting the list (or just the count) of dependent packages of a given package ? I suspect it does since npmjs.org has the info. I know there's an npm mailing list, but it mysteriously won't let me post. Thanks! G -- -- Job
