depcap

Limit the number of dependencies through linting.

Installation

Install through npm:

npm i -D depcap

Run

Somewhere in your linting process, add the command depcap.

package.json

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "depcap"
  }
  ...
}

Configure

By default, the limit is 10 direct dependencies, individually through dependencies, devDependencies, similar. You can configure the limit in your package.json file under the depcap property. You can read more about the dependency types at the npm docs.

Global Limit

To set the global limit, set the prop to an integer. The following update to your package.json file would set all the dependency limits to 3.

{
  ...
  "depcap": 3
  ...
}

Individual Limit

To set the individual limit, set the prop to an object. The following update to your package.json file would set dependencies to 5 and peerDependencies to 1. All other dependencies would default to 10.

{
  ...
  "depcap": {
    "dependencies": 5,
    "peerDependencies": 1
  }
  ...
}
