## Usage
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
    }
)
```
