Advanced tools
Package description
@pnpm/write-project-manifest is an npm package that allows you to programmatically write and update the package.json file of a project. This can be useful for automating project setup, dependency management, and other tasks that involve modifying the package.json file.
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');
});
The write-pkg package provides similar functionality to @pnpm/write-project-manifest by allowing you to write and update package.json files. It offers a simple API for writing package.json files and is widely used in the npm ecosystem.
The edit-json-file package allows you to easily read, modify, and write JSON files, including package.json. While it is not specifically designed for package.json files, it provides a flexible API for working with any JSON file.
The jsonfile package is a simple utility for reading and writing JSON files. It can be used to manage package.json files, but it does not offer specialized features for package.json management like @pnpm/write-project-manifest.
