View and update package version details and dependencies

You can view information about a package version, including dependencies, in CodeArtifact. You can also update the status of a package version. For more information on package version status, see Package version status.

View package version details

Use the describe-package-version command to view details about package versions. Package version details are extracted from a package when it is published to CodeArtifact. The details in different packages vary and depend on their formats and how much information their authors added to them.

Most information in the output of the describe-package-version command depends on the package format. For example, describe-package-version extracts an npm package's information from its package.json file. The revision is created by CodeArtifact. For more information, see Specifying a package version revision.

Two package versions with the same name can be in the same repository if they each are in different namespaces. Use the optional --namespace parameter to specify a namespace. The following returns details about version 4.41.5 of an npm package named webpack.

aws codeartifact describe-package-version --domain my_domain --domain-owner 111122223333 --repository my_repo \
--format npm --package webpack --package-version 4.41.5

The output might look like the following.
