npmPaketenui

npmPaketenui is an open-source user interface and toolset designed to simplify npm package management. It provides a web-based dashboard and a command-line interface that integrate with local projects and the npm registry. The project aims to streamline common tasks such as exploring dependencies, editing package.json, and publishing packages, by offering a cohesive workflow in a single environment.

Key features include:

- Dependency graph visualization to help understand relationships between packages and versions

- Interactive package.json editing with validation and suggestions

- Dependency and version management, including pinning and updates

- Integrated npm audit support for security checks and remediation hints

- Workspaces and monorepo support for multi-package projects

- Publish workflow assistance, changelog generation, and prepublish checks

- Import/export of configurations and template projects for faster onboarding

Architecture and scope:

npmPaketenui combines a frontend user interface with a lightweight local backend. The frontend delivers visual tools for exploring project data, while the backend reads local package metadata and interfaces with registry APIs. The system emphasizes compatibility with standard npm workflows and registry data, and it is designed to run in typical Node.js environments.

Usage:

The project is designed to be installed and run within a developer’s environment. Typical workflows involve installing the CLI globally, launching the UI, and connecting it to a local project or workspace to begin managing dependencies and publishing tasks.

Development and license:

npmPaketenui is maintained by a community of contributors and released under an open-source license. It emphasizes modularity, extensibility, and adherence to common npm tooling practices.
