CycloneDX Node.js Module

The CycloneDX module for Node.js creates a valid CycloneDX Software Bill-of-Materials (SBOM) containing an aggregate of all project dependencies. CycloneDX is a lightweight SBOM specification that is easily created, human and machine readable, and simple to parse.

Requirements

Node.js v12.0.0 or higher

Usage

Installing

npm install -g @cyclonedx/bom

Getting Help

$ cyclonedx-node -h
Usage: cyclonedx-node [options] [path]

Creates CycloneDX Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) from Node.js projects

Arguments:
  path                        Path to analyze

Options:
  -v, --version               output the version number
  -d, --include-dev           Include devDependencies (default: false)
  -l, --include-license-text  Include full license text (default: false)
  -o, --output <output>       Write BOM to file (default: "bom.xml")
  -t, --type <type>           Project type (default: "library")
  -ns, --no-serial-number     Do not include BOM serial number
  -h, --help                  display help for command

Environment variable BOM_REPRODUCIBLE causes bom result to be more consistent
over multiple runs by omitting time/rand-based values, and sorting lists.

Example (default: XML)

cyclonedx-node

Example (XML)

cyclonedx-node --output bom.xml

Example (JSON)

cyclonedx-node --output bom.json

Usage with docker

  --volume "$PWD":/src \
  cyclonedx/cyclonedx-node --output bom.xml

All options explained above are supported.
