@strangeanimals/add-dependencies v1.1.3

add-dependencies

This script adds dependencies (latest or specified versions) to the package.json file skipping the installation process.

Installation

If not using with npx (see below):

$ npm install add-dependencies [-g]

Usage

Run (for nodejs see Example):

$ add-dependencies [package_file] <dependencies> [target] [--no-overwrite]

or with npx:

$ npx add-dependencies [package_file] <dependencies> [target] [--no-overwrite]

where dependencies is the list of dependencies divided by space, and target is one of the following:

• --dev / --save-dev / -D for devDependencies
• --peer / --save-peer / -P for peerDependencies
• --optional / --save-optional / -O for optionalDependencies

If no target argument passed, dependencies are written to dependencies.

If no package_file argument passed, the script searches for a package.json file within the current working directory.

Use --no-overwrite flag to prevent already existing packages in package.json from being overwritten.

Example:

$ add-dependencies /home/user/project/package.json moment@2.0.0 react@16.8 redux eslint --dev

or with npx:

$ npx add-dependencies /home/user/project/package.json moment@2.0.0 react@16.8 redux eslint --dev

or via nodejs

const npmAdd = require('add-dependencies');
const dependencies = [
    'package1',
    'package2',
    'package3',
];
const target = npmAdd.CONSTANTS.DEPENDENCIES;
const overwrite = false;
const packageFilePath = 'package.json';
new npmAdd(dependencies, target, overwrite, packageFilePath)
    .run()
    .then(() => console.log('completed'));
