fixpack
A package.json file scrubber for the truly insane.
It will re-write your package.json file as follows:
- name first
- description second
- version third
- author fourth
- all other keys in alphabetical order
- dependencies and devDependencies sorted alphabetically
- newline at the end of the file
It will warn you if any of these are missing:
- description
- author
- repository
- keywords
- main
- bugs
- homepage
- license'
Fix all indenting to 2 spaces.
Oh, and it will tolerate improperly quoted and comma'd JSON thanks to ALCE.
Oh, and can do same if you pass it a bower.json
file or whatnot.
Usage
- install it globally
npm i -g fixpack
- run it in the same directory as your package.json, that's it.
fixpack
What you might do if you're clever
npm i cool_package --save && fixpack
Configuration
It's configurable. You can create a .fixpackrc
file in your project or anywhere up the tree to your $HOME
directory. Or overwrite options via CLI arguments.
Uses the rc module to do this. So you can pass all these as CLI args too.
The available options and their defaults shown below:
{
// will put these first in this order if present
sortToTop: [
'name',
'description',
'version',
'author'
],
// will error if these not present
required: [
'name',
'version'
],
// will warn if these not present
warn: [
'description',
'author',
'repository',
'keywords',
'main',
'bugs',
'homepage',
'license'
],
// if `private: true` in package.json will use the next two lists instead
requiredOnPrivate: [],
warnOnPrivate: ['name', 'version', 'description', 'main'],
// sub items to sort by default
sortedSubItems: [
'dependencies',
'devDependencies',
'jshintConfig',
'scripts',
'keywords'
],
// if you set quiet to true it won't do output anything to the console
quiet: false,
// files to scrub
files: ['package.json'],
// Will set all deps to '*'
// this may be useful because then you can
// run npm update --save && npm update --save-dev
// to install latest stable releases of everything.
wipe: false
}
