const { PackageJson } = require('@npmcli/package-json');

async function readPackageJson() {
  const pkg = await PackageJson.load(process.cwd());
  console.log(pkg.content);

async function updatePackageJson() {
  const pkg = await PackageJson.load(process.cwd());
  pkg.update({ version: '1.0.1' });
  await pkg.save();
}

updatePackageJson();

Add dependency

const { PackageJson } = require('@npmcli/package-json');

async function addDependency() {
  const pkg = await PackageJson.load(process.cwd());
