typefield for package.json v10 #1359theengineear commentedon Nov 6, 2024
I also got caught by this recently. I tried to use https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/configuring-npm/package-json as a source of truth to modernize the format of my
package.jsonfile, but now I’m questioning whether that was the right place to look for this information — is there a better place to look to understand the correct keywords to use?EDIT: Just saw that @kenshanta has a PR open on exactly this keyword. Thanks!!
