Skip questions when creating a package.json file
We often use the `npm init` command to initialize a `package.json` file. The command will ask you some questions that are used to fill the content of `package.json` later.
$ npm init
package name: (dev)
version: (1.0.0)
...
If you're a lazy at this step and would like to manually edit the file, you can skip all questions by using the `y` parameter:
$ npm init -y
// Or
$ npm init --yes
Then it will create a `package.json` file with the default value for basic options as following:
{
"name": "dev",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC"
}
