How to collect all npm licenses from multiple subdirectories with Powershell

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Install license-report (https://www.npmjs.com/package/license-report)

npm install -g license-report

run the script

Get-ChildItem -Directory | foreach { $_ >> ./licenses.csv ; license-report --output=csv --only=prod --package=./$_/package.json >> ./licenses.csv }

You can use the same idea to run other stuff in subdirectories. Just replace the command. Here is an example of git pull.

Get-ChildItem -Directory -Force -Recurse *.git | ForEach-Object { cd $_.Parent.FullName; Write-Host $_.Parent.FullName; git pull }
