audit-version

A CLI tool to audit and optionally fix Node.js project dependencies based on custom version rules.

Installation

Install globally:

npm install -g audit-version

Usage

audit-version [--from-pod <pod-name>] [--fix] [--apply-overrides] <rules.json>

• <rules.json>: Path to your rules file (required).
• --from-pod <pod-name>: Audit dependencies inside a Kubernetes pod.
• --fix: Automatically install dependencies to satisfy the rules.
• --apply-overrides: Automatically update overrides for sub-dependencies.

Example

1. Create a rules.json file:

{
  "express": "^4.18.0",
  "lodash": ">=4.17.21"
}

2. Run audit locally:

audit-version rules.json

3. Run audit and auto-fix:

audit-version --fix rules.json

4. Apply overrides:

audit-version --apply-overrides rules.json

5. Audit inside a Kubernetes pod CAREFULLY:

audit-version --from-pod my-pod rules.json

Output

• ✅ Dependency satisfies the rule.
• ❌ Dependency does not satisfy the rule.
• In --fix mode, non-compliant dependencies are installed automatically.
