envinfo generates a report of the common details needed when troubleshooting software issues, such as your operating system, binary versions, browsers, installed languages, and more

---

The problem

• It works on my computer
• "command not found"
• what version of "command" are you running?
• what version of "different command" are you running?
• do you have "insert obscure android sdk version"?
• every github issue reporting template ever:

Please mention other relevant information such as the browser version, Node.js version, Operating System and programming language.

This solution

• Gather all of this information in one spot, quickly, and painlessly.

Programmatic Usage

Envinfo takes a configuration object and returns a Promise that resolves a string (optionally yaml, json or markdown)

1import envinfo from 'envinfo';
2
3envinfo.run(
4    {
5        System: ['OS', 'CPU'],
6        Binaries: ['Node', 'Yarn', 'npm'],
7        Browsers: ['Chrome', 'Firefox', 'Safari'],
8        npmPackages: ['styled-components', 'babel-plugin-styled-components'],
9    },
10    { json: true, showNotFound: true }
11).then(env => console.log(env));

logs:

35        },
36        "babel-plugin-styled-components": "Not Found"
37    }
38}

All of envinfo's helpers are also exported for use. You can use envinfo as a whole, or just the parts that you need, like this:

1const envinfo = require('envinfo');
2
3// each helper returns a promise
4const node = await envinfo.helpers.getNodeInfo();
5
6// The promises resolve to an array of values: ["Name", "Version", "Path"]
7// e.g. ["Node", "10.9.0", "/usr/local/bin/node"]
8
9console.log(`Node: ${node[1]} - ${node[2]}`); // "Node: 10.9.0 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v8.14.0/bin/node"

Contributing

PRs for additional features are welcome! Run npm run lint && npm run format before committing.

This project came out of a PR to the React Native CLI tool - issues are reported frequently without important environment information, like Node/npm versions.
