Package Exports

edit-json-file

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (edit-json-file) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

edit-json-file

Edit a json file with ease.

☁️ Installation

# Using npm
npm install --save edit-json-file

# Using yarn
yarn add edit-json-file

📋 Example

const editJsonFile = require("edit-json-file");

// If the file doesn't exist, the content will be an empty object by default.
let file = editJsonFile(`${__dirname}/foo.json`);

// Set a couple of fields
file.set("planet", "Earth");
file.set("city\\.name", "anytown");
file.set("name.first", "Johnny");
file.set("name.last", "B.");
file.set("is_student", false);


// Output the content
console.log(file.get());
// { planet: 'Earth',
//   city.name: 'anytown',
//   name: { first: 'Johnny', last: 'B.' },
//   is_student: false }

// Save the data to the disk
file.save();

// Reload it from the disk
file = editJsonFile(`${__dirname}/foo.json`, {
    autosave: true
});

// Get one field
console.log(file.get("name.first"));
// => Johnny

// This will save it to disk
file.set("a.new.field.as.object", {
    hello: "world"
});

// Output the whole thing
console.log(file.toObject());
// { planet: 'Earth',
//   name: { first: 'Johnny', last: 'B.' },
//   is_student: false,
//   a: { new: { field: [Object] } } }

💖 Support my projects

I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).

However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:

Starring and sharing the projects you like 🚀
—I love books! I will remember you after years if you buy me one. 😁 📖
—You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a ~~coffee~~ tea. 🍵
—Set up a recurring monthly donation and you will get interesting news about what I'm doing (things that I don't share with everyone).
Bitcoin—You can send me bitcoins at this address (or scanning the code below): 1P9BRsmazNQcuyTxEqveUsnf5CERdq35V6

Thanks! ❤️
