json

Output the state of every instance of every dependency as a JSON object, one per line. This command is best used with tools like jq for filtering and processing.

TypeScript

Each instance printed by syncpack json has the type JsonOutput.

Examples

# Output all dependencies as JSON
syncpack json
# Output only AWS SDK dependencies
syncpack json --dependencies '@aws-sdk/**'
# Count dependencies by type
syncpack json | jq -r '.dependencyType' | sort | uniq -c
# See more examples
syncpack json --help
# See a short summary of options
syncpack json -h

Options

* ! { } etc

When passing values to syncpack via the command line, remember to add quotes around values containing special characters so your shell does not interpret them.

--config <file-path>

syncpack searches the monorepo root directory for a config file which follows its naming convention, but this can be overridden by providing a path to a specific configuration file instead.

The only requirement is that the file must have a file extension and that it is one of .cjs, .cts, .js, .json, .mjs, .mts, .ts, .yaml, or .yml.

syncpack json --config ./config/syncpack.json

--dependencies <dependency-name-pattern>

Include dependencies whose name matches the given glob pattern.

To exclude, put a ! at the start of your query.

# Exact match for "react"

syncpack json --dependencies 'react'

# Substring match for "react"

syncpack json --dependencies '**react**'

# All dependencies under the AWS SDK scope

syncpack json --dependencies '@aws-sdk/**'

# Exact match for "react" or "webpack" (2 approaches)

syncpack json --dependencies 'react' --dependencies 'webpack'
syncpack json --dependencies '{react,webpack}'

# Substring match for "react" or "webpack" (2 approaches)

syncpack json --dependencies '**react**' --dependencies '**webpack**'
syncpack json --dependencies '**{react,webpack}**'

--dependency-types <comma-separated-dependency-type-names>

Include dependencies of the given dependency types and/or custom types.

To exclude, put a ! at the start of your query.

# devDependencies only

syncpack json --dependency-types dev

# dependencies and devDependencies only

syncpack json --dependency-types dev,prod

# everything except peerDependencies

syncpack json --dependency-types '!peer'

--log-levels <comma-separated-log-level-names>

Control how detailed the log output should be

Level	What is written to this channel
info	The standard output which forms syncpack's UI, including lint issues
warn	Possible mistakes in your setup, or highlights of known gaps in syncpack
error	Fatal exceptions or errors outside the normal running of syncpack
debug	Extremely verbose detail on why syncpack assigns each status code

# Turn off logging completely

syncpack json --log-levels off

# Only show verbose debugging logs

syncpack json --log-levels debug

# Show everything

syncpack json --log-levels error,warn,info,debug

--no-ansi

Syncpack will print colours and clickable hyperlinks to the terminal using ANSI escape code unless this option is set.

syncpack json --no-ansi

--sort <choice>

Change the order in which dependencies are displayed

# Sort by count, in descending order

syncpack json --sort count

# Sort A-Z by name

syncpack json --sort name

--source <file-pattern>

Only run syncpack json on package.json files matching the provided pattern(s).

Syncpack will look in the following places for glob patterns matching package.json files, in this order of precedence, and stop looking when a match is found:

1. If --source CLI options are provided, use those.
2. If source is defined in configuration, use that.
3. If using npm workspaces or Yarn workspaces, read workspaces from ./package.json.
4. If using pnpm, read packages from ./pnpm-workspace.yaml.
5. If using Lerna, read packages from ./lerna.json.
6. Default to 'package.json' and 'packages/*/package.json'.

# only the root package
syncpack json --source 'package.json'

# only packages matching a glob

syncpack json --source 'packages/beta-*'

# multiple values can be provided

syncpack json --source 'package.json' --source 'packages/beta-*'

--specifier-types <comma-separated-specifier-type-names>

Include only instances whose version specifiers are of the given specifier types.

To exclude, put a ! at the start of your query.

# Exact versions only

syncpack json --show instances --specifier-types exact

# Missing or unsupported versions

syncpack json --show instances --specifier-types missing,unsupported

# Latest or workspace protocol only

syncpack json --show instances --specifier-types latest,workspace-protocol
