What is @types/normalize-package-data?
The @types/normalize-package-data package provides TypeScript type definitions for the normalize-package-data library. This library is used to normalize package.json data, ensuring that it conforms to expected standards and formats.
What are @types/normalize-package-data's main functionalities?
Normalization of package.json data
This feature allows you to normalize the data in a package.json file. The normalize function takes a package data object and modifies it to conform to expected standards.
const normalize = require('normalize-package-data');
const packageData = {
name: 'example-package',
version: '1.0.0',
description: 'An example package'
};
normalize(packageData);
console.log(packageData);
Validation of package.json fields
This feature validates the fields in a package.json file. If any fields are invalid, they are corrected or warnings are added to the package data object.
const normalize = require('normalize-package-data');
const packageData = {
name: 'example-package',
version: '1.0.0',
description: 'An example package',
repository: 'invalid-url'
};
normalize(packageData);
console.log(packageData);

validate-npm-package
The validate-npm-package package is used to validate the name and version of npm packages. It provides functions to check if a package name is valid and if a version number is valid. While it offers validation, it does not perform the comprehensive normalization that normalize-package-data does.
normalize-package-data
The normalize-package-data package itself is used to normalize package.json data, ensuring that it conforms to expected standards and formats. It provides comprehensive normalization and validation of package.json fields.
