• I have checked existing issues and there are no existing ones with the same request.

Feature description

Support for pnpm.

Help

Yes, but I don't know how to start. I would need guidance

Implementation help

This plugin automatically detects npm and yarn.

I would like to help to contribute to add support for the pnpm.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion,

currently, for both yarn and npm, npm outdated is being run since the output is the same.

I see that pnpm also has outdated cli command so you could probably add another detection method for pnpm, and based on that run pnpm outdated --json and just make sure it arrives in the same JSON format as currently expected.

• Here is the package manager detection
• Here is the cli call. You would run pnpm outdated --json here, just make sure the output format is the same as for npm

Let me know if you need more info to get started.

Thank you!

I'll start working on it on the upcoming weekend :)

I'm interested in helping too, not sure if you've gotten started. It looks like pnpm doesn't support --json for outdated, but we can just use npm as well. Here's the link to the relevant issue at pnpm's repos though, if this is resolved we might want to do it with pnpm in case it can do things faster, when it's supported.
