How can we view a list of all global dependencies installed?

Since we can't see these in our folder structure, is there a command to see which are installed in a list format?

I answered my own question with a little google search. You can use npm list -g --depth=0

You can change the depth to any number desired. Using --depth=0 will show only the main dependency.

Additionally, by removing -g it will show all of the depencies that are local, but not the global dependencies.

I hope this helps for anyone with the same question. If there is a moderator, or anyone with more knowledge on this topic, please feel free to add to this post, in case I've missed any important info.
