# init-package-json A node module to get your node module started. [](http://travis-ci.org/npm/init-package-json) ## Usage ```javascript var init = require('init-package-json') var path = require('path') // a path to a promzard module. In the event that this file is // not found, one will be provided for you. var initFile = path.resolve(process.env.HOME, '.npm-init') // the dir where we're doin stuff. var dir = process.cwd() // extra stuff that gets put into the PromZard module's context. // In npm, this is the resolved config object. Exposed as 'config' // Optional. var configData = { some: 'extra stuff' } // Any existing stuff from the package.json file is also exposed in the // PromZard module as the `package` object. There will also be free // vars for: // * `filename` path to the package.json file // * `basename` the tip of the package dir // * `dirname` the parent of the package dir init(dir, initFile, configData, function (er, data) { // the data's already been written to {dir}/package.json // now you can do stuff with it }) ``` Or from the command line: ``` $ npm-init ``` See [PromZard](https://github.com/npm/promzard) for details about what can go in the config file.
