# depcost
[](https://npmjs.com/package/depcost) [](https://npmjs.com/package/depcost)  [](https://codecov.io/gh/rich-lab/depcost)
e.g. retrieve the time & space cost of latest 5 versions of fs-extra.
## Introduction
**depcost** (abbr. **dc**) is a cli tool for you to judge whether a node module deserve your favor via knowing the time and space cost of a dependency.
## Features
- With **Require time**, you will know if the dependency you are using now is likely to **slow down** your node application.
- With **Install size** of a dependency, you will know if the dependency is too cumbersome and **wastes your disk.**
- Quickly specify the latest released versions.
## Install
```bash
npm install depcost -g
```
## Usage
Using `depcost` or its shortcut `dc`:
```bash
Usage:
$ depcost [...pkgs]
For more info, run any command with the `--help` flag:
$ depcost --help
Options:
-t, --track Whether to keep temp directory.
-r, --latest-versions Specify the count of latest versions.
-s, --versions Select specific versions.
-l, --log-level log level of npmlog under the hood.
-n, --npm-client set npm client, defaults to npm.
-d, --debug Shortcut to set log level to "debug".
-h, --help Display this message
-v, --version Display version number
```
Examples:
```bash
depcost [package]
depcost [package] --log-level=info
depcost [package] --debug
depcost [package@version]
depcost [package1] [package2] [package3]
depcost [package] --latest-versions=3
depcost [package] --versions=1.0.0,2.0.0
```
## Global Config
You can set global options at `~/.depcostrc` with ini syntax.
e.g., set npmClient to `tnpm` globally:
```bash
echo 'npmClient=tnpm' > ~/.depcostrc
```
