Does anyone know where I can find column name documentation for npm audit --parseable? I can guess what about half the columns are by comparing it to the default json output, but I'm unsure on some. For example, the Y/N output in the last column.

Alternatively, is the source code available for npm audit? I didn't see it linked in the docs. https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v6/commands/npm-audit

What I Tried:

  • Looking in the docs
  • npm audit --parseable --help
stk1234
  • 1,036
  • 3
  • 12
  • 29

They seem to have done away with this option in the latest version of NPM in favor of the --json option. However, digging into the code here: https://github.com/npm/npm-audit-report/blob/v1.3.3/reporters/parseable.js I was able to find some semblance of column definitions. Here's my interpretation of them (in order from left to right):

Package Action

Package Name

Severity Level

Remediation Action / Version

Vulnerability Description

Dependency Path

Breaking Changes?
