Part of pnpm/tasks#191. Wrong claims, fixed in the v12 docs and, where the same text is wrong for v11, in the v11 docs: - logout: drop the nonexistent --scope option. - patch: the edit dir is node_modules/.pnpm_patches/<name>@<version>; drop the "*" special case. - patch-commit: fix the ---patches-dir heading. - prefix: describe the real marker walk instead of "closest package.json". - setup: setup installs pnpm as a global package and writes pn/pnpx/pnx. - start, test: "run start" and "run test" are not aliases. - unlink: drop the system-wide and link --global wording. - unpublish: a package name is required; --otp has no env var; --registry wording. - update: --depth is dependency depth, not directory depth. - version: --tag-version-prefix defaults to the tagVersionPrefix setting. - view: the first argument is always the package. - why: drop --global and --only-projects; --exclude-peers has no effect; --prod includes optionalDependencies. - install: recursiveInstall spelling; replace the stale ci-info snippet. - v12 only: pack-app runtime default and builder download, pnx provisioning list and cmd.exe typo, tasks sample priority. Missing flags, settings, and error codes on the v12 pages: install (about twenty flags), lane, licenses, link, list, outdated, owner, pack-app path rules, pack, patch, patch-remove, peers, permissions, ping, pipeline, pm, pnx, prune, publish, rebuild, recursive, remove, repo, root, run, runtime, sbom, search, self-update, set-script, setup, shim, stage, star, start, store, tasks, team, test, token, unlink, unpublish, update, version, view, why, with. Stale history on the v12 pages: removed "Added in" markers older than v12 and rewrote "Since v11.x" and "In v11" sentences as current behavior (login, logout, licenses, link, outdated, patch, pnx, publish, runtime, sbom, self-update, setup, update, and others). Review follow-up: patch's default edit directory is named after the argument as typed (both versions); self-update installs the unscoped package only for pnpm 12 and newer; only --no-bail is restricted; npm_package_* covers name, version, config, engines and bin; prefix -g prints the parent of root -g; --optional no longer claims to override --no-optional.

Added in: v11.0.0
Aliases: info, show
View package metadata from the registry.
pnpm view [<pkg>]
pnpm view <pkg> [field...]
Usage
Show all metadata for a package:
pnpm view express
Show a specific field:
pnpm view express version
pnpm view express dependencies
pnpm view express dist-tags
Show metadata for a specific version:
pnpm view express@4.18.0
When no package name is provided, pnpm view searches upward for the nearest project manifest (package.json, package.yaml, or package.json5) and uses its name field. If the manifest exists but has no name, the command fails. To select fields, name the package: the first argument is always the package, so pnpm view version looks up a package named version.
Options
--json
Output the metadata in JSON format.
