The module's api has the following promise-returning methods

topDependents(packageName, maxNumber)

topDeps.topDependents(name, n)
  .then(function (list) {
    // list is Array of strings - names of dependent modules
  });
/*
  example: topDeps.topDependents('heroin', 10)
    returns ['opiate', 'qunit-inject']
*/

Fetches given metric for a list of package names. Available metrics are "downloads" and "starred".

topDeps.infoForDependents(metric, listOfNames)
  .then(function (results) {
    // results { dependentA: X, dependentB: Y }
    // where X, Y are metrics
  });

sortedByValue(object)

Takes an object where all values are numbers and returns list of properties corresponding to the values sorted in descending order. Provided for convenience.

var what = {
  a: 100,
  b: 20,
  c: 50
};
var sorted = topDeps.sortedByValue(what);
// sorted is ['a', 'c', 'b']
