Quick reference: npm

Requirements

A package.json file is required to be present all types of npm analysis.

Running npm install and generating a package-lock.json file will provide significantly better results. This allows FOSSA to detect the full dependency graph.

Note: The package-lock.json file is expected to be located in the same directory as the package.json file.

Project discovery

Directories containing package.json files are considered npm projects. node_modules subdirectories are skipped.
