var extendFile = require('extend-file');

extendFile('package.json', {foo: 'bar'});

data

Specify the data to use for extending the file.

$ expand-file package.json [data]
                             ^

Data may be specified using one of the following flags:

• -d or --data: specify a string to expand with expand-object
• -f or --file: specify a JSON or YAML file to use for data

Pass an object

Use the object expansion syntax supported by expand-object:

$ expand-file package.json -d "a.b.c:foo,bar,baz"
#=> "a":{"b":{"c":["foo","bar","baz"]}}}

Any issues related to --data expansion should be created on the expand-objectrepo.

Specify a JSON or YAML file

Use the contents of another file to extend the first file.

$ expand-file package.json -f foo.yml

JSON and YAML are supported.
