npm dependency server

A web server that provides a basic HTTP api for querying the dependency tree of an npm package.

Prerequisites

To install dependencies and start the server in development mode:

npm install
npm start

The server will now be running on an available port (defaulting to 3000) and will restart on changes to the src files.

Then we can try the /package endpoint. Here is an example that uses curl and jq, but feel free to use any client.

curl -s http://localhost:3000/package/react/16.13.0 | jq .

Most of the code is boilerplate; the logic for the /package endpoint can be found in src/package.ts, and some basic tests in test/package.test.ts

You can run the tests with:

npm run test

# Or in watch mode
npm run test -- --watch

The code is linted via eslint, you can run this via:

npm run lint
