Version Management

• Package Compatibility: dep check [package]

  • Project-wide analysis (when no package specified):
    • Check all dependencies for compatibility
    • Identify outdated packages
    • Detect incompatible versions
    • Auto-fix capability
  • Single package analysis:
    • Node.js version compatibility
    • npm version compatibility
    • Framework compatibility (React, Angular, Vue)
    • Peer dependencies check
    • Package size and download stats
  • Interactive installation

  # Check all project dependencies
  dep check
  
  # Check with auto-fix option
  dep check --fix
  
  # Deep analysis including dev dependencies
  dep check -d
  
  # Check specific package
  dep check express
  
  # Check specific version
  dep check react -v 16.8.0
  
  # Get JSON output
  dep check vue --json
  
  # Non-interactive mode
  dep check lodash --no-interactive

Options

Most commands support the following options:

--json                  # Output in JSON format
--depth <number>        # Specify dependency tree depth
--dev                   # Include devDependencies
--prod                  # Include only dependencies
--format <format>       # Output format (table/json/tree)

Examples
