npm-fund: List dependencies with funding URL for the project in the current directory.
$ npm fund
try on your machine

The npm fund command is used in the context of Node Package Manager (npm) to check the funding information of the installed packages in a project.

When you run npm fund in your project directory, it provides information about how the maintainer of each package you are using is seeking funding. This includes details about their funding platforms or methods, such as links to their websites, Patreon, Open Collective, or any other funding sources they have specified.

Essentially, npm fund helps you, as a user of open-source packages, to understand and support the developers behind the packages you depend on. It allows you to explore ways to contribute financially towards the development and maintenance of those packages, thus helping sustain the open-source ecosystem.
