What is sort-package-json?

The sort-package-json npm package is a utility that automatically sorts the properties in package.json files according to a standard convention. This helps in maintaining consistency and readability in package.json files across different projects.

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

Sorting package.json

This feature sorts the keys in a package.json object. It takes an unsorted package.json object as input and returns a string with the keys sorted in a standard order.

const sortPackageJson = require('sort-package-json');
const sortedContent = sortPackageJson(JSON.stringify(packageJsonObject));

CLI Usage

sort-package-json can be used directly from the command line to sort the package.json file in the current directory. This is useful for quick formatting without writing any JavaScript code.

API Usage

The package provides an API that can be used in Node.js scripts. This example reads a package.json file, sorts it, and then writes the sorted JSON back to the file.

const fs = require('fs');
const sortPackageJson = require('sort-package-json');

const packageJson = fs.readFileSync('package.json', 'utf8');
const sortedPackageJson = sortPackageJson(packageJson);
