License Report
Generates license reports of 3rd-party software dependencies
Looks through a project's npm dependencies
(and optionally devDependencies
and Bower dependencies
), pulls out licensing information, and compiles it into a given template.
const licenser = require('ux-license-report');
let report = licenser.generateReport();
console.log(report.toString()); // print it to the console
report.write('report.txt'); // saves the report to a file
API
generateReport(opts)
Returns a Promise that resolves to the generated report.
Options:
context
: Object of values (indexed by property) to add to the template. Default is{}
.include
: Array ofnpm
(for package.jsondependencies
),dev
(for package.jsondevDependencies
), and/orbower
(for bower.jsondependencies
). Default is['npm']
.path
: The root path of the project.template
: Lodash template string to use when rendering. Default is intemplate.txt
.
The returned report object has the following properties:
toString()
: Returns the compiled report.warnings
: An array of any warnings that occurred.write(filename)
: Saves the compiled report to a file.
CLI
If you have this module installed globally or inside another project, you can call it on the command line from the generate-license-report.js
script:
$ ./generate-license-report.js [ROOTPATH]
[--include npm] [--include dev] [--include bower]
[--template FILE]
[--CONTEXT VALUE --CONTEXT VALUE ...]
> licenses.txt
If the root path is not specified, the current working directory is used. The default values for other options are the same as the API.
All options are passed through to the template, so you can add to the context by passing scalar values or JSON strings. For example: ./generate-license-report.js --foo 1 --bar '{"bar": "value"}'
.
The generated report sent to standard output (stdout
), so you can save it by redirecting it to a file (as shown in the example above). Any errors or warnings are sent to standard error (stderr
).
Call the script with the --help
option (./generate-license-report.js --help
) to see the usage info.
