npm ls

##
List installed packages

###
Synopsis

    npm ls [[<@scope>/]<pkg> ...]

    aliases: list, la, ll

###
Description

This command will print to stdout all the versions of packages that are installed, as well as their dependencies, in a tree-structure.

Positional arguments are `name@version-range` identifiers, which will limit the results to only the paths to the packages named. Note that nested packages will also show the paths to the specified packages. For example, running `npm ls promzard` in npm's source tree will show:

        npm@7.0.0 /path/to/npm
        └─┬ init-package-json@0.0.4
          └── promzard@0.1.5

It will print out extraneous, missing, and invalid packages.

If a project specifies git urls for dependencies these are shown in parentheses after the name@version to make it easier for users to recognize potential forks of a project.

The tree shown is the logical dependency tree, based on package dependencies, not the physical layout of your node_modules folder.

When run as `ll` or `la`, it shows extended information by default.
