 NPM Packages Lookup - The Ultimate Onboarding Extension for Developers




  



[Download from Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MainaWycliffe.view-package-on-npm)

## Learn more about a package being used in your codebase

NPM has hundreds of thousands of packages, and sometimes we come across packages

that we are not familiar with. This extension helps you learn more about a

package being used in your codebase by providing links to the NPM package,

Homepage, and Git Repository.

NPM Packages Lookup is the ultimate onboarding VS Code extension. When

reading code, we sometimes come across JS/TS packages that are unfamiliar, with

this extension, just hover on the imported package, and you will get information

from NPM, about the current version of the extension being used, with links to

the NPM package,Homepage and Git Repository.

## How it works

Hover on an imported npm package and wait as the package links are loaded,

as shown below 🤯🤯🤯🤯.
