1
+ # License Checker
2
+
3
+ Scan a Node.js project’s production and development dependencies, print their license information, and copy discovered license files into an output directory.
4
+
5
+ ## Requirements
6
+
7
+ - Node.js 24 or newer
8
+ - A project with dependencies installed
9
+
10
+ ## Install
11
+
12
+ Run the CLI directly with pnpm:
13
+
14
+ ```sh
15
+ pnpm dlx @kingironman2011/license-checker
16
+ ```
17
+
18
+ Or install it in a project:
19
+
20
+ ```sh
21
+ pnpm add -D @kingironman2011/license-checker
22
+ ```
23
+
24
+ Then run:
25
+
26
+ ```sh
27
+ pnpm exec license-checker
28
+ ```
29
+
30
+ The command scans the current directory by default. Pass a project directory to scan another project:
31
+
32
+ ```sh
33
+ pnpm exec license-checker ./path/to/project
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ ## CLI options
37
+
38
+ ```text
39
+ Usage: license-checker [project-directory] [options]
40
+
41
+ Options:
42
+ --check List dependencies with no license metadata or license file
43
+ --silent, -s Do not print the license report
44
+ --extract, --files <dir> Copy license files into <dir>
45
+ --production, --prod Scan production dependencies only
46
+ --development, --dev Scan development dependencies only
47
+ --all Scan both dependency scopes (default)
48
+ --help, -h Show this help
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ Examples:
52
+
53
+ ```sh
54
+ # Check production dependencies in the current directory
55
+ pnpm exec license-checker --production
56
+
57
+ # Find dependencies without license metadata or a license file (exits nonzero if any are found)
58
+ pnpm exec license-checker --check
59
+
60
+ # Copy discovered license files to ./licenses
61
+ pnpm exec license-checker --extract ./licenses
62
+ ```
63
+
64
+ When `--check` finds dependencies whose license is unknown and which have no license files, it lists them and exits with status 1. Otherwise it reports that all dependencies have license metadata or license files. `--silent` suppresses report output; it does not change the exit status.
65
+
66
+ ## Library API
67
+
68
+ The package also exports `runLicenseCheck` for use from JavaScript or TypeScript:
69
+
70
+ ```ts
71
+ import { runLicenseCheck } from "@kingironman2011/license-checker";
72
+
73
+ const dependencies = await runLicenseCheck({
74
+ start: process.cwd(),
75
+ production: true,
76
+ });
77
+
78
+ console.log(dependencies);
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ Options include `start` (project directory), `production`, `development`, and `files` (directory for extracted license files). With neither scope selected, both production and development dependencies are scanned. Each result includes the package name, version, license, license file paths, and dependency scope.
82
+
83
+ ## Development
84
+
85
+ ```sh
86
+ pnpm install
87
+ pnpm build
88
+ pnpm lint
89
+ pnpm format:check
90
+ ```
91
+
