• Usage: aube view [FLAGS] [PACKAGE] [FIELD]
• Aliases: info, show, v
• Effect: read-only

Print package metadata from the registry

Read the workflow guide for context. Global options apply to this command too.

Arguments

• [PACKAGE] — Package to view, optionally with a version or dist-tag.

  Examples: lodash, lodash@4.17.21, react@next, express@^4.

• [FIELD] — Dotted path into the version metadata to print.

  Examples: version, dependencies, dist.tarball, maintainers.0.name. When omitted, prints a formatted summary.

Flags

• --json — Print the full JSON of the selected version instead of the summary.

  Mutually exclusive with field.

• -h --help — Print help

Network

• --fetch-retries <N> — Number of retry attempts for failed registry fetches.

  Overrides fetchRetries / fetch-retries from .npmrc / aube-workspace.yaml when set. Pair with --fetch-timeout to fail fast in scripted test runs.

• --fetch-retry-factor <N> — Exponential backoff factor between retry attempts.

  Overrides fetchRetryFactor / fetch-retry-factor from .npmrc / aube-workspace.yaml when set. Integer-only; fractional values like 1.5 are rejected.

• --fetch-retry-maxtimeout <MS> — Upper bound (ms) on the computed retry backoff.

  Overrides fetchRetryMaxtimeout / fetch-retry-maxtimeout from .npmrc / aube-workspace.yaml when set.

• --fetch-retry-mintimeout <MS> — Lower bound (ms) on the computed retry backoff.

  Overrides fetchRetryMintimeout / fetch-retry-mintimeout from .npmrc / aube-workspace.yaml when set.

• --fetch-timeout <MS> — Per-request HTTP timeout in milliseconds.

  Overrides fetchTimeout / fetch-timeout from .npmrc / aube-workspace.yaml when set. Covers the whole request (headers and body together).

• --registry <URL> — Override the default registry URL for this invocation.

  Use this npm registry URL for package metadata, tarballs, audit requests, dist-tags, and registry writes.
