+<h1><a href="../api/npm-view.html">npm-view</a></h1> <p>View registry info</p>
+<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
+<pre><code>npm.commands.view(args, [silent,] callback)
+</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<p>This command shows data about a package and prints it to the stream
+referenced by the <code>outfd</code> config, which defaults to stdout.</p>
+<p>The "args" parameter is an ordered list that closely resembles the command-line
+usage. The elements should be ordered such that the first element is
+the package and version (package@version). The version is optional. After that,
+the rest of the parameters are fields with optional subfields ("field.subfield")
+which can be used to get only the information desired from the registry.</p>
+<p>The callback will be passed all of the data returned by the query.</p>
+<p>For example, to get the package registry entry for the <code>connect</code> package,
+you can do this:</p>
+<pre><code>npm.commands.view(["connect"], callback)
+</code></pre><p>If no version is specified, "latest" is assumed.</p>
+<p>Field names can be specified after the package descriptor.
+For example, to show the dependencies of the <code>ronn</code> package at version
+0.3.5, you could do the following:</p>
+<pre><code>npm.commands.view(["ronn@0.3.5", "dependencies"], callback)
+</code></pre><p>You can view child field by separating them with a period.
+To view the git repository URL for the latest version of npm, you could
+do this:</p>
+<pre><code>npm.commands.view(["npm", "repository.url"], callback)
+</code></pre><p>For fields that are arrays, requesting a non-numeric field will return
+all of the values from the objects in the list. For example, to get all
+the contributor names for the "express" project, you can do this:</p>
+<pre><code>npm.commands.view(["express", "contributors.email"], callback)
+</code></pre><p>You may also use numeric indices in square braces to specifically select
+an item in an array field. To just get the email address of the first
+contributor in the list, you can do this:</p>
+<pre><code>npm.commands.view(["express", "contributors[0].email"], callback)
+</code></pre><p>Multiple fields may be specified, and will be printed one after another.
+For exampls, to get all the contributor names and email addresses, you
+can do this:</p>
+<pre><code>npm.commands.view(["express", "contributors.name", "contributors.email"], callback)
+</code></pre><p>"Person" fields are shown as a string if they would be shown as an
+object. So, for example, this will show the list of npm contributors in
+the shortened string format. (See <code>npm help json</code> for more on this.)</p>
+<pre><code>npm.commands.view(["npm", "contributors"], callback)
+</code></pre><p>If a version range is provided, then data will be printed for every
+matching version of the package. This will show which version of jsdom
+was required by each matching version of yui3:</p>
+<pre><code>npm.commands.view(["yui3@>0.5.4", "dependencies.jsdom"], callback)
+</code></pre><h2 id="output">OUTPUT</h2>
+<p>If only a single string field for a single version is output, then it
+will not be colorized or quoted, so as to enable piping the output to
+another command.</p>
+<p>If the version range matches multiple versions, than each printed value
+will be prefixed with the version it applies to.</p>
+<p>If multiple fields are requested, than each of them are prefixed with
+the field name.</p>
+<p>Console output can be disabled by setting the 'silent' parameter to true.</p>
+<h2 id="return-value">RETURN VALUE</h2>
+<p>The data returned will be an object in this formation:</p>
+<pre><code>{ <version>:
+ { <field>: <value>
+ , ... }
+, ... }
+</code></pre><p>corresponding to the list of fields selected.</p>
