Features

npmx.dev provides a comprehensive set of features for browsing npm packages.

Browse packages

Command palette

Open the command palette with ⌘K on macOS, or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux, to jump between major pages, switch settings, and open package-specific views without reaching for the mouse.

Share exact views

npmx.dev keeps shareable state in the URL. Package versions, source files and line anchors, generated docs, version diffs, changelogs, timelines, search results, and package comparisons can all be copied and shared as direct links.

View package details

Each package page displays:

• README - Rendered markdown documentation
• Versions - Complete version history with release dates
• Dependencies - Required packages with version ranges that resolve to actual versions
• Dependents - Packages that depend on this one (coming soon)
• Generated docs - API documentation for typed packages when available
• Changelog - Release notes when packages publish them
• Timeline - Publish history and notable version changes

Compare packages

Compare packages side-by-side using facets for:

• Performance - Package size, install size, direct dependencies, and total dependencies
• Health - Downloads, likes, freshness, creation date, GitHub stars, and GitHub issues
• Compatibility - Node.js engines, TypeScript types, and module format
• Security - License and vulnerability status

Comparison pages can also show charts, module replacement suggestions, and a no-dependency baseline.

Use translated and accessible UI

• Translations - Localized interface across 39 locales, including RTL support
• Translation status - Review translation completeness at /translation-status
• Accessibility page - Read the accessibility approach and known limitations at /accessibility
• Accessibility checks - axe component audits and Lighthouse runs guard accessibility regressions
