merge-package-json

Intelligently merge package.json files. This is pretty much built for yeoman. It attempts to combine two separate package.json files into one, respecting as much existing content as possible including already existing dependencies and package.json formatting.

Installation

Install this module through npm or clone it:

npm install --save merge-package-json

Usage

var merge = require('merge-package-json');
var dst = fs.readFileSync('package.a.json');
var src = fs.readFileSync('package.b.json');

// Create a new `package.json`
console.log(merge(dst, src));

var merge = require('merge-package-json');
var dst = require('package.a.json');
var src = require('package.b.json');

// Create a new `package.json`
console.log(merge(dst, src));

var merge = require('merge-package-json');
var src = require('package.b.json');
var dst = require('package.a.json');
var dst2 = require('package.b.json');

dst = merge(dst, src);
// Create a new `package.json`
console.log(dst);
console.log(merge(dst2, dst));

It allows you to do things like define scripts or dependencies that you would like to include as part of a larger project.

Merging:

{
	"name": "my-package",
	"dependencies": {
		"babel": "^5.2.2",
		"lodash": "^3.2.5"
	}
}

{
	"dependencies": {
		"babel": "^5.4.1",
		"eslint": "^0.22.1"
	}
}

OR

{
	"dependencies": {
		"text-to-mp3": "^1.0.0"
	}
}

results in:

{
	"name": "my-package",
	"dependencies": {
		"babel": "^5.4.1",
		"lodash": "^3.2.5",
		"eslint": "^0.22.1",
		"text-to-mp3": "^1.0.0"
	}
}

TODO

• Add MODE of merge like :
• Get Lates
• Get Oldest
• Get Surest ( the less divergent from common used) [ need design ]
