npm-name: Find similar package names in the npm registry.
$ npm-name --similar ${package}
try on your machine
The command "npm-name --similar ${package}" is used to check for similar package names in the npm (node package manager) registry.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "npm-name" is the name of the command-line tool that is being executed.
- "--similar" is an option for the command that specifies that we want to find similar package names.
- "${package}" is a placeholder for the name of the package that you want to find similar names for. It should be replaced with the actual name of the package you are interested in.
When you run this command with a specific package name, it will search the npm registry and return a list of package names that are similar to the one provided. This can be useful if you want to avoid naming conflicts or find alternative packages that serve a similar purpose.
