Option to ignore some dependencies about david HOT 10 CLOSED

👍 I think it would be even better if such dependencies could be specified in a file, say .david-lock or something.

I've implemented something quick to use in our project:
741614a...rpominov:722f8d9

Here is our pakage.json as an usage example:

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    "check-updates": "david || true",
    "update-deps": "david u || true"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    ...
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "david": "rpominov/david#722f8d9546f6944e0b91b71239fdc3320a2870e6"
    ...
  },
  "davidIgnore": [
    "david",
    "react-redux",
    "stats-webpack-plugin"
  ]
}

We run npm run check-updates to see what needs to be updated, and npm run update-deps for actual update. And put into davidIgnore packages that we don't want to update yet for some reasons.

It works fine for us, but not sure if it's good for a PR. I can make a PR, if this makes sense.

👍 much needed improvement. We have several modules that we'd like to stick with older versions and we'd like not to see a reminder that they're out of date.

You can now do this with v6.3.0 of david (https://github.com/alanshaw/david#ignore-dependencies).

Enjoy, and let me know if you have any feedback :)

@alanshaw I was really looking for a command-line flag, as I want to ignore some dependencies from all packages and I don't want to have to add it to every single package.json. Should I open a new issue?

from david.

Just FYI when calling getDependencies or getUpdatedDependencies programmatically you can pass it as an option:

david.getUpdatedDependencies(pkg, {ignore: ['async']}, (err, deps) => console.log(deps))

...but yes a command line arg would probably also be useful!

Alright: #82
