Node npm
This extension supports running npm scripts defined in the package.json file and validating the installed modules
against the dependencies defined in the package.json.
Notice The validation is done by running npm and it is not run when the modules are managed by yarn.
The package.json validation reports warnings for modules:
- that are defined in the package.json, but that are not installed
- that are installed but not defined in the package.json
- that are installed but do not satisfy the version defined in the package.json.
Quick fixes to run npm are provided for reported warnings.
