package-json-to-readme

Generate a README.md from package.json contents

Installation

Download node at nodejs.org and install it, if you haven't already.

npm install package-json-to-readme --global

Usage

# Write to stdout
readme package.json

# Pipe output into a new file
readme package.json > README.md

# Add a Travis badge
readme package.json --travis

# Run tests and add their output
readme package.json --tests

# Do it all
readme package.json --tests --travis > README.md

# If your package has an example.sh or example.js file, it will be used to
# generate a usage section like this one.

# If your example.js has a require("./") statement, the relative path will be
# replaced with the package name.

npm install
npm test
