module-tidyup

A simple utility to tidy up Node.js module package.json before publishing

Why?

Before we publish a module to npm registry, typically there are a few things that requires tidy-up.

• The module version
• The license
• Dependencies that use internal git/http urls
• Set private to be false

Install

npm install -g module-tidyup

Usage

tidyup [-i] [-u] [-d] [-v version] [-l license]

Options:

• -i: Run npm install -f first to refresh the dependencies
• -u: Update the package.json, if not set, the revised content is dumped to stdout
• -d: Update dependencies for 'latest' or git/http urls, default to true
• -v version: Update the version, use 'major'/'minor'/'patch'/'prerelease' to increment, default to '1.0.0'
• -l license: Update the license, default to 'MIT'

What does it do?

• Run npm install -f (if -i)
• Run npm ls --json
• Open package.json and tidy it up
• Write the result back to package.json (if -u)
