Node Modules Inspector

Visualize your node_modules, inspect dependencies, and more.

Quick Start

Try it by running following command under your pnpm/npm/bun project.

pnpx node-modules-inspector

npx node-modules-inspector

bunx node-modules-inspector

Currently supports pnpm, npm, and bun projects. We are counting on the community to bring support for other package managers.

Online Version

You can also try an online version at undefinednode-modules.devundefined, powered by WebContainer.

Configuration

You can create a node-modules-inspector.config.ts file in your project root to configure the inspector’s default behaviour.

import { defineConfig } from 'node-modules-inspector'

export default defineConfig({
  defaultFilters: {
    excludes: [
      'eslint',
    ],
  },
  defaultSettings: {
    moduleTypeSimple: true,
  },

  // Experimental publint.dev integration, default is false
  publint: true

  // ...see jsdoc for more options and details
})

Static Build

You can also build a static SPA of your current node_modules status:

pnpx node-modules-inspector build

npx node-modules-inspector build

bunx node-modules-inspector build

Then you can host the .node-modules-inspector folder with any static file server.

You can see a build for all Anthony Fu’s packages at everything.antfu.dev.
