NAME
init - Interactively create a package.json file
SYNOPSIS
npm.commands.init(args, callback)
DESCRIPTION
This will ask you a bunch of questions, and then write a package.json for you.
It attempts to make reasonable guesses about what you want things to be set to, and then writes a
package.json file with the options you´ve selected.
If you already have a package.json file, it´ll read that first, and default to the options in there.
It is strictly additive, so it does not delete options from your package.json without a really good
reason to do so.
Since this function expects to be run on the command-line, it doesn´t work very well as a
programmatically. The best option is to roll your own, and since JavaScript makes it stupid simple to
output formatted JSON, that is the preferred method. If you´re sure you want to handle command-line
prompting, then go ahead and use this programmatically.
