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

1. install it globally

npm i -g fixpack

2. 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
}
