Install

npm install @anolilab/package-json-utils

yarn add @anolilab/package-json-utils

pnpm add @anolilab/package-json-utils

Usage

const { pkg } = require('@anolilab/package-json-utils');

console.log(pkg.name); // will print the name of the "process.cwd()" package.json

List of available helpers:

• hasPackageProperties

  This function takes an array of property names as input and checks if the "process.cwd()" package.json object has any of those properties.

• hasPackageSubProperties

  This function takes a package property name as input and returns a new function that checks if the "process.cwd()" package.json object has sub-properties under the specified package property.

• environmentIsSet

  This function takes an environment variable name as input and checks if the environment variable is set and not equal to "undefined".

• parseEnvironment

  This function takes an environment variable name and a default value as input. It attempts to parse the value of the environment variable as JSON and returns the parsed value. If parsing fails, it returns the original value as a string.

• appDirectory

  This variable is assigned the value of the directory name of the package path or an empty string if the package path is undefined.

• fromRoot

  This function takes a variable number of path segments as input and joins them with the appDirectory to create a complete path from the root directory.

• hasFile

  This function takes a variable number of path segments as input and checks if a file exists at the specified path relative to the appDirectory.

• hasScripts

  This variable is assigned the result of calling hasPackageSubProperties with the argument "scripts". It checks if the "process.cwd()" package.json object has any scripts defined.

• hasPeerDep

  This variable is assigned the result of calling hasPackageSubProperties with the argument "peerDependencies". It checks if the "process.cwd()" package.json object has any peer dependencies defined.

• hasDep

  This variable is assigned the result of calling hasPackageSubProperties with the argument "dependencies". It checks if the "process.cwd()" package.json object has any regular dependencies defined.

• hasDevelopmentDep

  This variable is assigned the result of calling hasPackageSubProperties with the argument "devDependencies". It checks if the "process.cwd()" package.json object has any development dependencies defined.

• hasAnyDep

  This function takes an array of dependency names as input and checks if any of the dependency checks (hasDep, hasDevelopmentDep, hasPeerDep) return true for any of the dependencies.

• hasTypescript

  This variable is assigned the result of checking if "typescript" is a dependency and if "tsconfig.json" file exists using hasAnyDep and hasFile functions.

• packageIsTypeModule

  This variable is assigned the result of checking if the "process.cwd()" package.json object has a property "type" and its value is "module".

• isPackageAvailable

  This function takes a module name as input and checks if the module is available for import. It uses different methods depending on the environment and package type (module or commonjs).

• showMissingPackages

  This function takes a package name and an array of missing package names as input and logs a warning message with instructions on how to install the missing packages using npm, yarn, or pnpm.

• unique

  This function takes an array as input and returns a new array with only unique values.

• pkg

  This variable returns the "process.cwd()" package.json object or undefined.

• getPackageProperty

  This function takes a package property name as input and returns the value of the property from the "process.cwd()" package.json object or undefined.

• getPackageSubProperty

  This function takes a package property name and a sub-property name as input and returns the value of the sub-property from the "process.cwd()" package.json object or undefined.

Note: The process.cwd() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of the process module which is used to get the current working directory of the node.js process.

Supported Node.js Versions

Libraries in this ecosystem make the best effort to track Node.js’ release schedule. Here’s a post on why we think this is important.
