There is a feature from maven I miss a lot in package.json. In maven .pom file you can define variables in parent project and use them in child project's pom files.
Is there something like this in npm? We are building modular project and I want to define dependency versions centrally and them to be used in respective package.json files.
Thanks
Any property from package.json
can be referenced from scripts, prefix it with $npm_package
and adding an _<prop>
(underscore + property) for every nested level.
Example:
{
"name": "appname",
"version": "0.0.1"
}
Here, name
can be access like below:
Linux/Mac: $npm_package_name
or ${npm_package_name}
Windows: %npm_package_name%
And, version
can be access like below:
Linux/Mac: $npm_package_version
or ${npm_package_version}
Windows: %npm_package_version%
