npm:packages:why
Show why an npm package is installed.
$ npm-why ${package_name}
try on your machine
The command "npm-why" is not a valid command in the npm package manager. However, assuming it is a custom command or script, the command "${package_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the specific package that you want to retrieve information for. When executed, this command will likely provide information about why a certain package is being installed as a dependency, including the other packages that depend on it and the versions that are required.
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.
