package-alt-yaml

Use package.yaml instead of package.json

Requirements

• Node.js ≥ 6.0.0 and npm

Installation

npm install --global package-alt-yaml

Command-line usage

Replace npm with the following commands

npm-yaml, ynpm, npm-yaml-update, ynpm-update

Invoke npm command and update package.yaml if necessary

ynpm [argv]

Example

ynpm install --save [package] # Would update package.yaml
ynpm install [package] # Won't update package.yaml

npm-yaml-preserve, ynpm-preserve

Invoke npm command but preserve package.yaml

ynpm-preserve [argv]

Example

ynpm-preserve install [package] # Won't update package.yaml
ynpm-preserve install --save [package] # Won't update package.yaml

Notes

ynpm init

This program doesn't read data from stdin therefore ynpm init won't work. In order to init a "ynpm package", do the following instead:

npm i -g js-yaml # CLI to convert json to yaml
npm init # Now you have a package.json
js-yaml package.json > package.yaml # Now you have a package.yaml

package.yml

This program works only with package.yaml, not package.yml.
