Retrieve funding information

Synopsis

npm fund [<pkg>]
npm fund [-w <workspace-name>]

Description

This command retrieves information on how to fund the dependencies of a given project. If no package name is provided, it will list all dependencies that are looking for funding in a tree structure, listing the type of funding and the url to visit. If a package name is provided then it tries to open its funding url using the --browser config param; if there are multiple funding sources for the package, the user will be instructed to pass the --which option to disambiguate.

The list will avoid duplicated entries and will stack all packages that share the same url as a single entry. Thus, the list does not have the same shape of the output from npm ls.

Example

Workspaces support

It’s possible to filter the results to only include a single workspace and its dependencies using the workspace config option.

Example:

Here’s an example running npm fund in a project with a configured workspace a:

$ npm fund
test-workspaces-fund@1.0.0
+-- https://example.com/a
| | `-- a@1.0.0
| `-- https://example.com/maintainer
|     `-- foo@1.0.0
+-- https://example.com/npmcli-funding
|   `-- @npmcli/test-funding
`-- https://example.com/org
    `-- bar@2.0.0

And here is an example of the expected result when filtering only by a specific workspace a in the same project:

$ npm fund -w a
test-workspaces-fund@1.0.0
`-- https://example.com/a
  | `-- a@1.0.0
  `-- https://example.com/maintainer
      `-- foo@2.0.0
