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)

import envinfo from 'envinfo';

envinfo.run(
    {
        System: ['OS', 'CPU'],
        Binaries: ['Node', 'Yarn', 'npm'],
        Browsers: ['Chrome', 'Firefox', 'Safari'],
        npmPackages: ['styled-components', 'babel-plugin-styled-components'],
    },
    { json: true, showNotFound: true }
).then(env => console.log(env));

logs:

{
    "System": {
        "OS": "macOS High Sierra 10.13",
        "CPU": "x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4870HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz"
    },

        },

            "version": "5.6.0",

        }

        },
        "babel-plugin-styled-components": "Not Found"
    }
}

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:

const envinfo = require('envinfo');

// each helper returns a promise
const node = await envinfo.helpers.getNodeInfo();

// The promises resolve to an array of values: ["Name", "Version", "Path"]
// e.g. ["Node", "10.9.0", "/usr/local/bin/node"]

console.log(`Node: ${node[1]} - ${node[2]}`); // "Node: 10.9.0 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v8.14.0/bin/node"

Integration

envinfo is live in:

• React Native (react-native info)
• Create React App (create-react-app --info)
• Expo Environment Info (npx expo-env-info)
• Webpack (webpack-cli info)
• Solidarity (solidarity report)
• Gatsby (gatsby info)

envinfo is used in the ISSUE_TEMPLATE of:

• styled-components
• Jest

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.
