Experimental Project

This is just a simple and minimal experiment project. Please do not use it in production projects.

What is it?

It is a tool to check for the licenses of all your npm project dependencies. This tool will retrieve all packages inside your package.json file and check for all licenses of the packages imported as dependencies as well as devDependencies.

This is not indended to do much more than just that. It wil not check for other package.json files in subfolders (such as those inside subfolders -- for monorepos, for example).

How to run

Just install it using:

npm install -g dep-license-checker

This will install the package globally. To use it, just run:

license-checker /path/to/project

And it will look for the package.json file and start checking for dependencies licenses.

That's all :)
