What is init-package-json?

The init-package-json npm package is a utility that helps in creating a package.json file for a Node.js project. It guides users through a series of prompts to gather necessary information and then generates a package.json file based on the provided inputs.

What are init-package-json's main functionalities?

Interactive Package Initialization

This feature allows users to initialize a package.json file interactively. The script prompts the user for various details like package name, version, description, etc., and then generates the package.json file.

const init = require('init-package-json');
const path = process.cwd();
const initFile = path.resolve(process.env.HOME, '.npm-init');

init(path, initFile, {}, (err, data) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log('Package initialized:', data);
  }
});

Custom Prompts

This feature allows users to provide custom configuration data for the package.json file. Instead of going through the interactive prompts, users can supply predefined values.

const init = require('init-package-json');
const path = process.cwd();
const initFile = path.resolve(process.env.HOME, '.npm-init');

const configData = {
  'name': 'my-custom-package',
  'version': '1.0.0',
  'description': 'A custom package'
};

init(path, initFile, configData, (err, data) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log('Custom package initialized:', data);
  }
});
