📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added support for npm aliases in dependency displays, including resolved package names, version ranges, and alias indicators.
- Dependency links, vulnerability details, replacements, and outdated-version checks now work correctly with aliased packages.
- Added English and German translations for alias information.
Bug Fixes
- Improved handling of non-semver dependency references and prevented invalid version lookups.
- Reduced duplicate package checks when resolving dependency information.

Walkthrough

This PR parses npm alias dependency strings into real package names and version ranges. Resolved names now drive dependency links, analysis lookups, replacement detection, version display, and alias messages. Outdated results remain keyed by the declared dependency name.

Changes

Alias-aware dependency resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Parsing and lookup inputs `shared/utils/npm.ts`, `test/unit/shared/utils/npm.spec.ts`, `app/composables/npm/useReplacementDependencies.ts`, `app/composables/npm/useOutdatedDependencies.ts`, `app/utils/npm/outdated-dependencies.ts`	`parseDependencyVersion` parses aliases and non-semver references. Replacement and outdated lookups use resolved names, while outdated results retain the original dependency keys.
Dependency links and status `app/components/Package/Dependencies.vue`	Direct, peer, and optional dependency entries use resolved package names and parsed ranges for routing, status checks, version display, and alias controls.
Alias translation text `i18n/locales/en.json`, `i18n/locales/de.json`, `i18n/schema.json`	The locales and schema define the `dependencies.aliased_to` message.

🧹 Nitpick comments (1)

app/components/Package/Dependencies.vue (1)
163-217: Consider computing resolved values once per dependency item.

Within each <li> iteration, depName(dep, version) is called up to 14 times and getVulnerableDepInfo(...) up to 6 times. Each invocation re-parses the value and re-searches the array respectively.

For most package lists this won't be noticeable, but if you'd like to tidy it up:
♻️ Optional: extract a computed list with pre-resolved values
const resolvedDependencies = computed(() =>
  sortedDependencies.value.map(([key, value]) => {
    const realName = depName(key, value)
    return {
      key,
      value,
      realName,
      range: depRange(value),
      vulnInfo: getVulnerableDepInfo(realName),
      deprecatedInfo: getDeprecatedDepInfo(realName),
    }
  })
)
Then iterate over resolvedDependencies in the template, accessing pre-computed properties.

Looks good

I think would be a good idea to indicate that a dependency is mapped to a different package

gameroman

Hi, could you resolve the mere conflicts, please

Flo0806 · 2026-06-19T05:48:03Z

Yes, sure, this weekend I'll fix it!

Thank you!

If you could also do this too would be really nice

I think would be a good idea to indicate that a dependency is mapped to a different package

I think it could either be an icon or something else if you or someone have another idea how to indicate that

@gameroman Yes, Sir :-) I do something like this:

How does it look when it's aliased to a git or http dependency?

Also could you update the description with new screenshots please?

Flo0806 · 2026-06-28T13:18:11Z

That state actually can't occur. An npm: alias can only resolve to a registry package. npm itself rejects anything else. I tried it. So all safe.

image are updated! ❤️

I mean what is shown when a non-npm: alias is used? Same as before?

Flo0806 · 2026-06-28T19:23:10Z

Ah, ok I understand, and it's a good question. Yes - it would be same as before. I can do the follow: catch knowing aliases like git, jsr e.g. and only unknown are showed as "unknown". What do you think?

I think a follow up PR is also fine if you'd like to do that in a separate PR or you can do it in this one if you want

Current PR looks good, lets also see what other maintainers think

+ *   "npm:@scope/pkg@^1.0.0"     { name: "@scope/pkg", range: "^1.0.0" }
+ *   "file:../foo"               { name: null, range: null }
+ */
+export function parseDepValue(value: string): ParsedDepValue {


this probably belongs in the shared/utils/npm.ts file instead, so we can reuse it across the UI and backend in future.

it might make sense to call it parseDependencyVersion then too, to make it clearer what this is.

gameroman · 2026-08-04T13:15:36Z

@Flo0806 could you address James's code review and resolve the git conflicts please
