abt

abt

A CLI tool to get easy info from your package.json.

npm i -g abt

Usage

abt takes only one argument, being the .dotNoted reference to the part of your package.json that you wish to fetch. When called with no arguments at all, abt will present you with your .scripts by default. When called with multiple arguments, abt will only use the first. abt also provides shortcuts. (See below.)

Examples

Given the command abt or abt .scripts, abt will give you your package.json's scripts value:

["<path/to/projectRoot>/package.json"].scripts == {
	"start": "node bin",
	"test": "jest"
}

Given the command abt .dependencies, abt will give you the dependencies value found in your package.json:

["<path/to/projectRoot>/package.json"].dependencies == {
   "ink": "^0.4.1",
   "ink-spaces": "^0.0.1",
   "ink-spinner": "^1.0.0",
   "node-jq": "^1.2.0",
   "yargs": "^11.0.0"
}

Given the command abt .version, abt will give you the version value found in your package.json:

["<path/to/projectRoot>/package.json"].version == "0.0.2"

Shortcuts

arg	same as
.DD	'.devDependencies'
.PD	'.peerDependencies'
.D	'.dependencies'
.V	'.version'

Example: abt .DD -> abt .devDependencies
