package-yaml
This builds on @reggi's package-yml
, which itself is on the shoulders of the work of @saschagehlich and the npm-yaml
project. In an effort to use yaml
instead of json
for npm's package file, while still retaining compatibility with legacy tools.
Install
The recommended installation is to install npm-autoloader
globally, and add package-yaml
as a devDependency of your project:
# If npm-autoloader is not already installed:
npm install npm-autoloader --global
npm config set onload-script npm-autoloader --global
# To install package-yaml for this project:
npm install package-yaml --save-dev
echo "- package-yaml" >> npm-autoload.json
Alternately, you can install package-yaml globally on its own:
npm install package-yaml --global
npm config set onload-script package-yaml
Or, less portably, manually in a package-local setting:
npm install package-yaml --save-dev
echo "onload-script=$PWD/node_modules/package-yaml" >> .npmrc
Why
It's easier to read and write yaml
over json
.
How
Every time you run an npm
command package-yaml
will check for a yaml
file. If one exists it will update the existing json
file with the contents. When the npm
process exists the contents from the json
will update the yaml
file.
