grunt-npm-package-json-lint

A Grunt wrapper for npm-package-json-lint

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt >=0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-npm-package-json-lint --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-npm-package-json-lint');

The "npmpackagejsonlint" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named npmpackagejsonlint to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  npmpackagejsonlint: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    files: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    }
  }
});

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to lint package.json files.

grunt.initConfig({
  npmpackagejsonlint: {
    options: {
      quiet: false,
      maxWarnings: -1
    },
    files: {
      src: ['./package.json']
    }
  }
});

Custom Options

In this example, the custom options are used to lint package.json files. All warnings will be suppressed.

grunt.initConfig({
  npmpackagejsonlint: {
    options: {
      configFile: '.npmpackagejsonlintrc.json',
      quiet: true
    },
    files: {
      src: ['./package.json']
    }
  }
})

Migrating from v2 to v3

The following options have been removed:

• ignorewarnings
• stoponwarning
• showallerrors

If you were using ignorewarnings, please use quiet instead. If you were using stoponwarning, please use maxWarnings and set the threshold you would like a non-zero exit code to be returned.
