---

### Synopsis

<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS START -->
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/commands/query.js -->

```bash
npm query <selector>
```

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/commands/query.js -->

<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS END -->

### Description

The `npm query` command allows for usage of css selectors in order to retrieve
an array of dependency objects.

### Piping npm query to other commands

```bash
# find all dependencies with postinstall scripts & uninstall them
npm query ":attr(scripts, [postinstall])" | jq 'map(.name)|join("\n")' -r | xargs -I {} npm uninstall {}

# find all git dependencies & explain who requires them
npm query ":type(git)" | jq 'map(.name)' | xargs -I {} npm why {}
```

### Extended Use Cases & Queries

```stylus
// all deps
*
// all direct deps
:root > *
// direct production deps
:root > .prod
// direct development deps
:root > .dev
// any peer dep of a direct deps
:root > * > .peer
// any workspace dep
.workspace
// all workspaces that depend on another workspace
.workspace > .workspace
// all workspaces that have peer deps
.workspace:has(.peer)
// any dep named "lodash"
// equivalent to [name="lodash"]
#lodash
// any deps named "lodash" & within semver range ^"1.2.3"
#lodash@^1.2.3
// equivalent to...
[name="lodash"]:semver(^1.2.3)
// get the hoisted node for a given semver range
#lodash@^1.2.3:not(:deduped)
// querying deps with a specific version
#lodash@2.1.5
// equivalent to...
[name="lodash"][version="2.1.5"]
// has any deps
:has(*)
// deps with no other deps (ie. "leaf" nodes)
:empty
// manually querying git dependencies
[repository^=github:],
[repository^=git:],
[repository^=https://github.com],
[repository^=http://github.com],
[repository^=https://github.com],
[repository^=+git:...]
// querying for all git dependencies
:type(git)
// get production dependencies that aren't also dev deps
.prod:not(.dev)
// get dependencies with specific licenses
[license=MIT], [license=ISC]
// find all packages that have @ruyadorno as a contributor
:attr(contributors, [email=ruyadorno@github.com])
```

### Example Response Output

- an array of dependency objects is returned which can contain multiple copies of the same package which may or may not have been linked or deduped

```json
[
{
"name": "",
"version": "",
"description": "",
"homepage": "",
"bugs": {},
"author": {},
"license": {},
"funding": {},
"files": [],
"main": "",
"browser": "",
"bin": {},
"man": [],
"directories": {},
"repository": {},
"scripts": {},
"config": {},
"dependencies": {},
"devDependencies": {},
"optionalDependencies": {},
"bundledDependencies": {},
"peerDependencies": {},
"peerDependenciesMeta": {},
"engines": {},
"os": [],
"cpu": [],
"workspaces": {},
"keywords": [],
...
},
...
```

### Configuration

<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START -->
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
#### `global`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the `prefix`
folder instead of the current working directory. See
[folders](/configuring-npm/folders) for more on the differences in behavior.

* packages are installed into the `{prefix}/lib/node_modules` folder, instead
of the current working directory.
* bin files are linked to `{prefix}/bin`
* man pages are linked to `{prefix}/share/man`

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### `workspace`

* Default:
* Type: String (can be set multiple times)

Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
this configuration option.

Valid values for the `workspace` config are either:

* Workspace names
* Path to a workspace directory
* Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
workspaces within that folder)

When set for the `npm init` command, this may be set to the folder of a
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
brand new workspace within the project.

This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### `workspaces`

* Default: null
* Type: null or Boolean

Set to true to run the command in the context of **all** configured
workspaces.

Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like `install` to
ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:

- Commands that operate on the `node_modules` tree (install, update, etc.)
will link workspaces into the `node_modules` folder. - Commands that do
other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
_unless_ one or more workspaces are specified in the `workspace` config.

This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### `include-workspace-root`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.

When false, specifying individual workspaces via the `workspace` config, or
all workspaces via the `workspaces` flag, will cause npm to operate only on
the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.

This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
