Show dependents by a specific version

[jimmywarting]

I'm seeing someone still depending on a very old version in one of my packages that was released waaaay back. But haven't updated to a newer version yet...

It would be interesting to see what packages depends on a specific version if you go into the "versions" tab and select one.

Take npm-check as an example... it shows 212 dependents overall
but if i select [email protected] specifically that current have 171 weekly download of something that was released 4 years ago, then it still shows 212 dependents overall. I wish it could narrow it down.

It was possible in the past using a CouchDB view. I even made a package for it (https://github.com/targos/npm-depends).
Unfortunately, the view was removed a couple years ago.

@jimmywarting This is definitely something interesting and worth exploring. I'm going to leave this discussion unanswered to revisit in the new year. Thanks for the suggestion.
