Errors when searching for libs about init-package-json HOT 3 OPEN

Thanks for the reply! In fact npm configworks fine for some parameters (e.g. version and license), but I am interested in also defining some other initial configuration in the generated package.json, such as default startand test scripts.

I was under the impression that through init-package-json's init function I would be able to make such customisations. Maybe I misunderstood the purpose of the module?

What do you want to put in your package file that cannot be set with npm config? Sorry for not being of any help.

.npm-init.js is not living up to what I thought it was supposed to be. (and npm referring us here isn't too helpful as the API doesn't seem to match the format expected by .npm-init.js.

A few problems so far:

1. use strict caused a crash
2. I did discover from the README that basename, filename, and dirname (as well as prompt) were predefined, but didn't end up needing require('path').basename, so not too big of an issue for me, and one can rename.
3. I wanted to preconfigure a choice of type, scripts, devDependencies, etc. based on whether the user were using modules or not, yet I can't get this prompt to work: const modules = prompt('Module? (leave blank to be CommonJS)', 'y'); It seems prompt only works if being assigned to a variable like description or one of the recognized export names, but I figured, I should be able to name variables as I wished within the file until setting on exports.
