npm init(3) -- Interactively create a package.json file
|
||
|
|
=======================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
npm.commands.init(args, callback)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will ask you a bunch of questions, and then write a package.json for you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It attempts to make reasonable guesses about what you want things to be set to,
|
||
|
|
and then writes a package.json file with the options you've selected.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you already have a package.json file, it'll read that first, and default to
|
||
|
|
the options in there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is strictly additive, so it does not delete options from your package.json
|
||
|
|
without a really good reason to do so.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since this function expects to be run on the command-line, it doesn't work very
|
||
|
|
well as a programmatically. The best option is to roll your own, and since
|
||
|
|
JavaScript makes it stupid simple to output formatted JSON, that is the
|
||
|
|
preferred method. If you're sure you want to handle command-line prompting,
|
||
|
|
then go ahead and use this programmatically.
