Write a new package.json

This feature allows you to create a new package.json file with the specified content. The code sample demonstrates how to define a new package.json and write it to the current directory.

const { writeProjectManifest } = require('@pnpm/write-project-manifest');

const manifest = {
  name: 'my-new-project',
  version: '1.0.0',
  description: 'A new project',
  main: 'index.js',
  scripts: {
    start: 'node index.js'
  },
  dependencies: {}
};

writeProjectManifest('.', manifest).then(() => {
  console.log('package.json has been written');
});

Update an existing package.json

This feature allows you to update an existing package.json file. The code sample demonstrates how to read the current package.json, modify its content, and write the updated content back to the file.

const { writeProjectManifest } = require('@pnpm/write-project-manifest');
const fs = require('fs');

const manifestPath = './package.json';
const manifest = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(manifestPath, 'utf-8'));

manifest.version = '1.0.1';
manifest.scripts.test = 'jest';

writeProjectManifest('.', manifest).then(() => {
  console.log('package.json has been updated');
