json-bump

bumps the "version" entry for a JSON file

Version 1.0.0 note

With version 1.0.0, the node.js version returns a promise. Use async/await to ensure package.json gets properly written.

rationale

An easy to use component to bump the semver version of a JSON file. Includes both an exported package and a CLI.

installation

npm i json-bump

programmatic example

const bump = require('json-bump')

async function update() {
    await bump('package.json', { replace: '1.0.1' })
}
update()

command-line example

$ json-bump package.json
Updated package.json version from 0.1.2 to 0.1.3

$ json-bump data.json --minor
Updated data.json version from 1.0.5 to 1.1.0

$ json-bump

Usage: json-bump FILENAME [FLAGS]
Bumps the version in a json file using semver (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)

--replace=semver   this replaces the entire semver with the given string

--major=1          increment the major version (increments by 1 if flagged but not specified)
--minor=1          increment the minor version (increments by 1 if flagged but not specified)
--patch=1          increment the patch version (increments by 1 if flagged but not specified)
--entry=name       change entry updated (defaults is "version")
--spaces=4          number of spaces to format the .json file (set to 0 to remove spaces)

If no FLAGS are specified, increments PATCH by 1
