npm-query:tldr:03071

npm-query: Print all direct production/development dependencies.
$ npm query ':root > .${select}'
try on your machine

This command is using the npm package manager's query feature to select and filter nodes in the npm package tree.

Let's break down the command:

  • npm query: This is the command being executed and it allows you to query information about installed npm packages.
  • ':root > .${select}' is the selector used to filter the nodes in the package tree.

Now, let's dissect the selector '${select}':

  • ${select} is a placeholder that represents a specific class or tag name that you want to select.
  • > . is a CSS selector syntax that is used to select the child element with the specified class or tag name.

Putting it all together, the command is querying the package tree to find nodes that match the class or tag name specified by ${select}, which you would need to replace with an actual class or tag name.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
