npm-search

Search for packages

Synopsis

npm search [-l|--long] [search terms ...]

aliases: s, se

Description

Search the registry for packages matching the search terms.

If a term starts with \/, then it's interpreted as a regular expression. A trailing \/ will be ignored in this case. (Note that many regular expression characters must be escaped or quoted in most shells.)

Configuration

long

• Default: false
• Type: Boolean

Display full package descriptions and other long text across multiple lines. When disabled (default) search results are truncated to fit neatly on a single line. Modules with extremely long names will fall on multiple lines.
