package-yaml

This builds on @reggi's package-yml, which itself is on the shoulders of the work of @saschagehlich and the npm-yaml project. In an effort to use yaml instead of json for npm's package file, while still retaining compatibility with legacy tools.

Install

The recommended installation is to install npm-autoloader globally, and add package-yaml as a devDependency of your project:

# If npm-autoloader is not already installed: 
npm install npm-autoloader --global
npm config set onload-script npm-autoloader --global
 
# To install package-yaml for this project: 
npm install package-yaml --save-dev
echo "- package-yaml" >> npm-autoload.json

Alternately, you can install package-yaml globally on its own:

npm install package-yaml --global
npm config set onload-script package-yaml

Or, less portably, manually in a package-local setting:

npm install package-yaml --save-dev
echo "onload-script=$PWD/node_modules/package-yaml" >> .npmrc

Why

It's easier to read and write yaml over json.

How

Every time you run an npm command package-yaml will check for a yaml file. If one exists it will update the existing json file with the contents. When the npm process exists the contents from the json will update the yaml file.
