API

findAndReadPackageJSON(directory: string, options: Options): Promise<{file: string; json: any}>

Find and read data from a package.json file that exists in the provided directory, or that exists in a parent directory of the provided directory.

Parameters
  • directory: string - Required. The directory we will start looking for a package.json file in.
  • options
    • cache: {[file: string]: any} - Optional. An object shared between calls to findAndReadPackageJSON() to reduce repeated calls to fs .readFile().
    • transform: (json : any) => any Optional. A function to transform the JSON read from a package.json file (to save large chunks of JSON from being cached).
