Get the list of projects which depend on given library

Question

Given that I have an open-source plugin, e.g. sweetalert2.

How can I get the list of all open-source projects (on GitHub) with sweetalert2 dependency in package.json?

There was similar functionality in https://libraries.io/ but I can't find it anymore.

Go here https://www.npmjs.com/browse/depended/sweetalert2 or here https://github.com/limonte/sweetalert2/network/dependents — curiousdannii, Dec 05 '17 at 14:42
Thank you, @curiousdannii! This is exactly what I was looking for! — Limon Monte, Dec 05 '17 at 16:53
Could you please make an answer so I can accept it and resolve this question? — Limon Monte, Dec 05 '17 at 16:54
Of course, "the list of all open-source projects (on GitHub) with sweetalert2 dependency in package.json" is just a subset of "the list of projects which depend on given library". — O. R. Mapper, Oct 18 '18 at 05:12

npm will show you any packages which depend on another package. Here's what it says for sweetalert2.

But that won't include dev-dependencies, or projects which haven't been published to GitHub. GitHub itself however also has a list of all public repositories which depend on your package.

As there are many providers like github which let you host the opensource projects, Is there any way to look for dependents on other providers like gitlab etc? – Amit Kumar Gupta Jul 25 '18 at 01:36
@AmitKumarGupta: SourceForge, BitBucket, some more ... And while OSS sites like Github are very convenient, nothing stops you from just setting up source control, issue tracker, etc. on your own website. – O. R. Mapper Oct 18 '18 at 05:10

I'm not able to relate your reply to my question. I asked how can we find users of our OS project. – Amit Kumar Gupta Oct 19 '18 at 03:35
