You cannot directly execute an npm command because the npm tool is specifically designed for package management within the Node.js environment. To access utility functions, you need to run commands directly in Node.js itself.
After installing a package like discord.js
using npm, follow these steps:
npm install discord.js
Next, run Node.js without specifying any specific files:
node
Then, use the following command:
Object.keys(require('discord.js'))
This will display a list of utility functions associated with the installed npm package. You can replace discord.js
with any other npm package name as needed.
The output should resemble the list provided below, which showcases the available utility functions in discord.js
.

If you encounter errors like "Cannot use import statement inside the Node.js REPL," it may be due to running the command from Node.js instead of within a module or application context.
