/npm/package@version/file.js code example

Example 1: what is package.json in node

All npm packages contain a file, usually in the project root, called package. json - this file holds various metadata relevant to the project. This file is used to give information to npm that allows it to identify the project as well as handle the project's dependencies.

Example 2: npm update package.json version field by code

# From 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
npm version patch 

# From 1.0.1 -> 1.1.0
npm version minor

# From 1.1.0 -> 2.0.0
npm version major
