types-package-json

A handful set of package.json types and interfaces to improve working with dynamically imported package.json files. @types/package-json became deprecated as package.json files imported by typescript come with it’s own type definitions. Sometimes though, when you import files dynamically type becomes any and that’s when this package becomes useful.

Based on npm package.json documentation: https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json

Usage

npm i -D types-package-json

import { IPackageJson } from 'types-package-json';
const packageJsonPath = path.resolve(process.cwd(), `package.json`);
const packageJson: Partial<IPackageJson> = await import(packageJsonPath);

Features

• Zero overhead - contains only types and interfaces, no actual objects.
• I prefixed - all interfaces are prefiexed with I to avoid misunderstanding interface with a class and decrease naming overlaps.
• IPackageJson - full package.json interface, name and version is required
• IPackageJsonAddress - optional email and url
• IPackageJsonPerson - required name, optional email and url
• IPackageJsonDependencyTypes - ‘dependencies’ | ‘devDependencies’ | ‘peerDependencies’ | ‘optionalDependencies’ (bundledDependencies are not included in this type as they serve different purpose).
