snyk-to-md

library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

This utility package, `snyk-to-md` (current stable version 1.0.0), provides a command-line interface for transforming the JSON output generated by the `snyk test --json` command into a human-readable Markdown report. It simplifies the process of integrating Snyk vulnerability reports into documentation workflows or sharing findings without requiring users to navigate complex JSON structures. The package's primary function is to consume the JSON stream via standard input (stdin) or a file, then output a formatted Markdown file, typically named `Snyk_Report.md` by default or a user-specified path. Its release cadence is likely infrequent, as it serves a specific, stable transformation purpose. Key differentiators include its singular focus on Markdown output, direct piping capability, and ease of use as a global CLI tool for local reporting.

CLI Tool

✓ npm install -g snyk-to-md

✗ import { snykToMd } from 'snyk-to-md'

This package is designed for global installation and command-line interface (CLI) usage, not for programmatic import into JavaScript or TypeScript applications.

Demonstrates the global installation and primary command-line usage of `snyk-to-md` to convert Snyk JSON vulnerability reports into a Markdown file.

// This package is primarily a Command Line Interface (CLI) tool. // To use it, you first need to install it globally: // npm install -g snyk-to-md // You also need the Snyk CLI installed to generate the input JSON: // npm install -g snyk // (Optionally, run 'snyk auth' if you haven't authenticated with Snyk) // Then, generate a Snyk vulnerability report in JSON format // and pipe its output directly to snyk-to-md. // Example 1: Generate a report and save it to a default file (Snyk_Report.md) // from your project root: // snyk test --json | snyk-to-md // This command will create 'Snyk_Report.md' in the current directory. // Example 2: Generate a report and specify a custom output path and filename: // snyk test --json | snyk-to-md -o ./reports/my-snyk-vulnerabilities.md // Ensure the 'reports' directory exists or adjust the path accordingly. // You can verify the generated Markdown file by opening it in a text editor // or a Markdown viewer.

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThis tool requires the Snyk CLI to be installed separately and available in your system's PATH, as it processes the output of `snyk test --json`.

fix

Ensure `npm install -g snyk` or an equivalent installation method for the Snyk CLI has been completed.

affects: >=1.0

gotchaThe input to `snyk-to-md` must be valid JSON output from `snyk test --json`. Incorrect or malformed JSON will lead to processing errors.

fix

Always pipe the direct output of `snyk test --json` to `snyk-to-md` to ensure correct input formatting.

affects: >=1.0

gotchaWhen specifying an output file path using the `-o` flag, ensure that the target directory exists and the user has write permissions to it.

fix

Create the output directory before running the command, or adjust the path to a location with appropriate write permissions.

affects: >=1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

snyk-to-md: command not found

The `snyk-to-md` package has not been installed globally or is not correctly added to your system's PATH.

fix

Run `npm install -g snyk-to-md` to install the CLI tool globally.

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'vulnerabilities')

The input JSON was either invalid or did not contain the expected structure, specifically the 'vulnerabilities' array that `snyk-to-md` expects from Snyk reports.

fix

Verify that `snyk test --json` is running successfully and producing valid, complete Snyk JSON output before piping it to `snyk-to-md`.

EACCES: permission denied, open './Snyk_Report.md'

The user executing the command lacks the necessary write permissions for the directory where the report is attempting to be saved.

fix

Run the command from a directory where you have write permissions, or specify an output path (`-o`) to a location with appropriate permissions.
