The main purpose of npmextra is to configure different tools using one npmextra.json. This way complex setups avoid additional complexity caused by too many configuration files.
npmextra.json
```json
{
"sometool": {
"defaultKey1": "awesomeValueFromConfig"
}
}
```
```typescript
import { Npmextra } from 'npmextra';
let myNpmExtra = new Npmextra('my/path/to/cwd'); // cwd argument is optional
mergedData = myNpmExtra.dataFor('sometool', {
// gets merged with whatever is in the configfile
defaultKey1: 'defaultValue1', // so this will get overwritten with "awesomeValueFromConfig"
defaultKey2: 'defaultValue2', // this one will pass through unaltered
});
```
### Tools that already use the config feature of npmextra
We are always happy for code contributions. If you are not the code contributing type that is ok. Still, maintaining Open Source repositories takes considerable time and thought. If you like the quality of what we do and our modules are useful to you we would appreciate a little monthly contribution: You can [contribute one time](https://lossless.link/contribute-onetime) or [contribute monthly](https://lossless.link/contribute). :)
