About:
qnm is a command-line interface tool designed to query and analyze the contents of a Node.js project's node_modules directory. It provides detailed insights into installed packages, their versions, and dependency trees, helping developers manage dependencies and debug issues. Its main value proposition is offering a fast, intuitive way to explore and understand complex JavaScript/TypeScript project dependencies directly from the terminal.

Key Features:

Query installed packages and versions
Display dependency trees and reasons for installation
Support for monorepos and multiple package managers
Interactive search and filtering
Check for outdated or duplicate packages

Use Cases:

Debugging dependency conflicts and version issues
Auditing and understanding project dependencies before upgrades
Exploring installed packages in large monorepos or complex projects

Alternatives:

npm ls – Built-in npm command, but qnm offers faster, more readable, and interactive output.
yarn why – Yarn's dependency explainer, qnm is package-manager agnostic and provides a unified interface.
