Use your own template
Supply your own template using the --template option. Templates are written in Mustache. Your template does not have to be HTML, change the output file name using --out-path.
By default, Mustache is given two variables:
name: the package namerenderLicenses: an array of GroupedLicense. When using--no-group, an array of LicenseInfo is passed instead.
Check the lib folder for example templates.
How licenses are found
- Get package version and tarball location from package.lock
- Look for licenses in node_modules if avalible
- Otherwise download tarball, extract, look for licenses, and use that
- Otherwise, evaluate SPDX string and use a file from https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data/tree/master/text
