# Create a `package.json` like a champion

This is a fully featured `package.json` scaffolding tool. It goes above and beyond the basic `npm init`
by supporting (almost) all of the keys you can set in a `package.json`. It can be used as a simple cli
tool, or inside your other package scaffolding tools.
*NOTE:* This is a work in progress, more to come on docs and there are some missing options at the moment.
[See here](https://github.com/wesleytodd/create-package-json/blob/master/index.js#L14-L27) for missing fields.
## Usage
```
$ npm init package-json
$ npx create-package-json
```
### CLI Usage
```
$ create-package-json --help
Generate a package.json
Commands:
create-package-json Generate a package.json [default]
Options:
--help Show help [boolean]
--version Show version number [boolean]
-d, --cwd Directory to run in [default: process.cwd()]
--silent [boolean]
--verbose [boolean]
--ignore-existing Ignore existing files (& overwrite them)
--name [string]
--scope Set a scope to be used when suggesting a package name
[string]
-V, --package-version [string]
--description [string]
--author [string]
--repository [string]
--keywords [string]
--license [string]
--type [string]
--main [string]
--private [boolean]
--dependencies [string]
--dev-dependencies [string]
--peer-dependencies [string]
--spacer [string] [default: 2 spaces]
--save-exact [boolean]
```
Dependencies should be a comma separated list like `--dependencies="express,react"`, and it can also
include versions, `--dependencies="express@5"`.
Scripts should be defined as a json string, `--scripts='{"test":"exit 0"}'`.
### Programmatic Usage
```javascript
const createPackageJson = require('create-package-json')
;(async () => {
const pkg = await createPackageJson({
name: '@myscope/my-package',
description: 'A useless new package',
dependencies: ['express'],
devDependencies: ['mocha'],
author: 'Me ',
version: '1.0.0'
})
console.log(pkg) // The json after writing and installing
})()
```
