### Synopsis

    npm fund [<package-spec>]

### Description

This command retrieves information on how to fund the dependencies of a given project. If no package name is provided, it will list all dependencies that are looking for funding in a tree structure, listing the type of funding and the url to visit. If a package name is provided then it tries to open its funding url using the `--browser` config param; if there are multiple funding sources for the package, the user will be instructed to pass the `--which` option to disambiguate.

The list will avoid duplicated entries and will stack all packages that share the same url as a single entry. Thus, the list does not have the same shape of the output from `npm ls`.

#### Example

### Workspaces support

It's possible to filter the results to only include a single workspace and its dependencies using the `workspace` config option.

#### Example:

Here's an example running `npm fund` in a project with a configured workspace `a`:

    $ npm fund
    test-workspaces-fund@1.0.0
    +-- https://example.com/a
    | | `-- a@1.0.0
    | `-- https://example.com/maintainer
    |     `-- foo@1.0.0
    +-- https://example.com/npmcli-funding
    |   `-- @npmcli/test-funding
    `-- https://example.com/org
        `-- bar@2.0.0

And here is an example of the expected result when filtering only by a specific workspace `a` in the same project:

    $ npm fund -w a
    test-workspaces-fund@1.0.0
    `-- https://example.com/a
      | `-- a@1.0.0
      `-- https://example.com/maintainer
          `-- foo@2.0.0

### Configuration

#### `json`

- Default: false
- Type: Boolean

Whether or not to output JSON data, rather than the normal output.

- In `npm pkg set` it enables parsing set values with JSON.parse() before saving them to your `package.json`.

Not supported by all npm commands.

#### `browser`

- Default: macOS: `"open"`, Windows: `"start"`, Others: `"xdg-open"`
- Type: null, Boolean, or String

The browser that is called by npm commands to open websites.

Set to `false` to suppress browser behavior and instead print urls to terminal.

Set to `true` to use default system URL opener.

#### `unicode`

- Default: false on windows, true on mac/unix systems with a unicode locale, as defined by the `LC_ALL`, `LC_CTYPE`, or `LANG` environment variables.
- Type: Boolean

When set to true, npm uses unicode characters in the tree output. When false, it uses ascii characters instead of unicode glyphs.

#### `workspace`

- Default:
- Type: String (can be set multiple times)

Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by this configuration option.

Valid values for the `workspace` config are either:

- Workspace names
- Path to a workspace directory
- Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all workspaces within that folder)

When set for the `npm init` command, this may be set to the folder of a workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a brand new workspace within the project.

This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.

#### `which`

- Default: null
- Type: null or Number

If there are multiple funding sources, which 1-indexed source URL to open.
