A CLI tool to fill in missing fields in package.json files. Drop-in replacement for `npm init -y`.
Usage • Development • Contribute
fill-packagejson helps you to complete the information in your package.json
files for optimal display on NPM. Also generates a license file if you got none.
It can also create a package.json file for a new project as a drop-in
replacement for npm init -y.
Run npx fill-packagejson in your project directory.
If you already have a package.json file the CLI will pick it up and ask you to
fill in the missing fields.
If you do not already a package.json file, the CLI will ask you all the
questions and create one.
Most of the fields that NPM uses to display your package will be filled in:
nameversiondescriptionkeywordshomepagebugs(if you have a GitHub repository)licenseauthorrepository
You should fill in a main or bin field yourself.
The contributors field is not automatically filled in, you may want to do that
yourself though.
First install the dependencies with npm install. Then you can run
npm run dev to compile the files and run the CLI locally.
To publish a new version increase the version number with
npm version <major|minor|patch> and publish with npm publish. The files will
be automatically compiled before publishing.
If you think you have any ideas that could benefit the project, feel free to create an issue or pull request!
