Frequently Asked Questions about dependency-analyzer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit JavaScript dependencies for security vulnerabilities?

Dependency auditing identifies security vulnerabilities and outdated packages in npm, yarn, and pnpm projects. Run `npx @j0kz/dependency-analyzer audit` to generate a comprehensive report with vulnerability details and safe update recommendations for your project.

Can I detect circular dependencies in my TypeScript project?

Circular dependency detection identifies circular imports that can cause module resolution issues and reduce tree-shaking effectiveness. The analyzer finds and reports these patterns so you can restructure your code to eliminate them.

What's the best way to check license compliance across dependencies?

License compliance verification scans all dependencies to ensure their licenses are compatible with your project's requirements. The analyzer reports license types and compatibility status, helping you avoid legal and compliance issues.

How does bundle size analysis help optimize dependencies?

Bundle analysis measures the size impact of each dependency and assesses tree-shaking effectiveness to identify unused code. This reveals optimization opportunities and helps reduce your final bundle size.

Does the analyzer integrate with CI/CD pipelines?

Yes, the dependency analyzer supports CI/CD integration with configurable settings. You can automate audits, license checks, and vulnerability detection as part of your deployment workflow to catch issues before production.

Why should I check for outdated packages in my dependencies?

Outdated packages often contain security patches, performance improvements, and bug fixes. Regular dependency analysis detects outdated versions and recommends safe updates to keep your project secure and maintainable.
