npm looks up a package on the npm registry and shows its details and bundle size. Reach for it when you're deciding whether to add a dependency. It never runs a package manager, so nothing gets installed.

Actions

Run an action with lla plugin run npm <action>.

Action	What it does
`search`	Look up a package by its exact name
`favorites`	View details for saved packages, copy their install commands or remove them
`preferences`	Choose your package manager: `npm`, `yarn`, `pnpm` or `bun`
`help`	Show help

All of them are interactive, so they need a TTY.

Example

lla plugin run npm search

Type a package name such as react. search matches exact names only, and anything else reports Package not found. It shows the package's version, description, author, license, homepage, repository, and minified and gzipped size from Bundlephobia. A menu then lets you copy the install command, add the package to favorites or open its npm page.

Settings

Edit ~/.config/lla/plugins/npm/config.toml, or run the preferences action.

registry = "https://registry.npmjs.org"
package_manager = "npm"
favorites = []

Permissions

The plugin can reach registry.npmjs.org and bundlephobia.com, and use the clipboard and open URLs. It caches package details for 6 hours and bundle sizes for 24 hours.
