<h1>npm <a href="../api/init.html">init</a></h1> <p>Interactively create a package.json file</p>

<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
|
|
<pre><code>npm.commands.init(args, callback)
|
|
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
|
|
<p>This will ask you a bunch of questions, and then write a package.json for you.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>If you already have a package.json file, it'll read that first, and default to
|
|
the options in there.</p>
|
|
<p>It is strictly additive, so it does not delete options from your package.json
|
|
without a really good reason to do so.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
