How to view the dependency tree of a given npm module?

You can generate NPM dependency trees without the need of installing
a dependency by using the command

npm list

This will generate a dependency tree for the project at the current directory and print it to the console.

You can get the dependency tree of a specific dependency like so:

npm list [dependency]

You can also set the maximum depth level by doing

npm list --depth=[depth]

Note that you can only view the dependency tree of a dependency that you have installed either globally, or locally to the NPM project.
