Sometimes a target "production" version of a module can be lower than the build environment. Add a flag --ignore-dev to ignore devDependencies (and dependencies of them).

If a dependency is both dev and non-dev, then it should not be ignored with this flag.

Regular output should be updated to show if a dependency is dev or not.

The current minimum is 13 which isn't extremely new, but not that old either. Reduce the footprint of the module and replace any dependencies/code which requires Node.js > 8.

This allows the module to be used in more flexible environments.

It's important to know if there are any modules which are offending, but since we just print out the name of the module it's not very useful. especially if there are multiple versions of the module, one of which may be valid against the target node, and another may not be.

An output like this would be useful

4.0.0

Then print the npm ls command with versions so the tree shows. Alternatively allow a -v, --verbose command which spawns npm.

alternatively pass a --flat command which prints all the modules and their versions
this can be piped to npm ls -

check-engines --flat | npm ls
