Visualize why a dependency is in your Node.js project

Tired of digging through npm explain or yarn why? DepTrack generates an interactive dependency tree to show:

• Why a package is installed
• Which parent dependencies brought it in
• How versions were resolved

Get Started

npx deptrack <package-name>  # Try it now!

Anatomy of the report

Why DepTrack?

🔍 Debug faster – No more guessing why left-pad is in your node_modules.
🌳 Visual tree – Understand complex dependency chains at a glance.
⚡ Zero-config – Works locally without external servers.

Usage

1. Run in any Node.js project:

   npx deptrack <package-name> # replace <package-name> with the package you are trying to analyze

2. Opens the report in your browser.

Use Cases

• 🛡️ Audit security vulnerabilities
