Get all licenses in list of Bower dependencies using jq
Raw
bower-dependency-licenses.sh
# For each dependency's pkgMeta, get "license" if it exists, otherwise get the "type" field of each of "licenses", or "unknown" if that is also empty
# I'm sure there's a better way to do this with jq
bower list -jq | jq '.dependencies | to_entries[] | { (.key): .value | .pkgMeta | (.license // ((.licenses // [{type: "unknown"}])[] | .type)) }'

Hi Brett. Bower isn't offering -jq as a command line option that I can see currently: http://bower.io/docs/api/#list did that previously specify that bower's output should be json?
Regards, Peter
PS Ah, I found Bower have addressed this use case themselves: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bower-license

It is bower list -json now
