I want to set few package.json property defaults.
For example, most of my libraries published on NPM, have the MIT license. Also, I am the author of most of them (sometimes the author is the company I work for).
How can I set such defaults?
I expect the following behavior:
$ npm init
...
author: (Ionică Bizău)
license: (MIT)
...
So, just pressing enter will set the default values.
To see npm configuration, run:
npm config list
which typically will contain such
userconfig /home/scott/.npmrc
cat above file to see all your overrides
npm config ls -l # to show all defaults
you can manually define defaults
npm config edit # view then change all settings
alternatively you can interactively set defaults :
npm set init.author.name "<Your Name>"
npm set init.author.email "you@example.com"
npm set init.author.url "example.com"
npm set init.license = "MIT"
each set has a corresponding get
Use npmrc to set your defaults.
