我有一个简单的包裹。json文件,我想添加一个评论。有办法做到这一点吗,或者有什么hack可以做到这一点吗?

{
  "name": "My Project",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "3.x",
    "mongoose": "3.x"
  },
  "devDependencies" :  {
    "should": "*"
    /* "mocha": "*" not needed as should be globally installed */
  }
}

上面的示例注释在npm崩溃时不起作用。我还尝试了// style注释。


当前回答

因为大多数开发人员都熟悉基于标记/注释的文档,所以我开始使用的约定是类似的。来尝尝:

{
  "@comment dependencies": [
    "These are the comments for the `dependencies` section.",
    "The name of the section being commented is included in the key after the `@comment` 'annotation'/'tag' to ensure the keys are unique.",
    "That is, using just \"@comment\" would not be sufficient to keep keys unique if you need to add another comment at the same level.",
    "Because JSON doesn't allow a multi-line string or understand a line continuation operator/character, just use an array for each line of the comment.",
    "Since this is embedded in JSON, the keys should be unique.",
    "Otherwise JSON validators, such as ones built into IDEs, will complain.",
    "Or some tools, such as running `npm install something --save`, will rewrite the `package.json` file but with duplicate keys removed.",
    "",
    "@package react - Using an `@package` 'annotation` could be how you add comments specific to particular packages."
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    ...
  },
  "@comment scripts": {
    "build": "This comment is about the build script.",
    "start": [
      "This comment is about the `start` script.",
      "It is wrapped in an array to allow line formatting.",
      "When using npm, as opposed to yarn, to run the script, be sure to add ` -- ` before adding the options.",
      "",
      "@option {number} --port - The port the server should listen on."
    ],
    "test": "This comment is about the test script.",
  },
  "scripts": {
    "build": "...",
    "start": "...",
    "test": "..."
  }
}

注意:对于dependencies、devDependencies等部分,注释注释不能直接添加到配置对象中各个包依赖项的上面,因为npm期望键是npm包的名称。这就是@comment依赖的原因。

我喜欢在JSON中添加注释的注释/标记样式,因为@符号与普通声明不同。

年长的建议

以下是我之前的建议。它内联注释的脚本,但我已经意识到,这些注释显示为“命令”在一些工具(在VS Code > Explorer > NPM脚本部分)。最新的建议没有受到这个问题的影响,但是脚本注释不再位于同一位置。

{
  "@comment dependencies": [
    ...
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    ...
  },
  "scripts": {
    "@comment build": "This comment is about the build script.",
    "build": "...",

    "@comment start": [
      "This comment is about the `start` script.",
      "It is wrapped in an array to allow line formatting.",
      "When using npm, as opposed to yarn, to run the script, be sure to add ` -- ` before adding the options.",
      "",
      "@option {number} --port - The port the server should listen on."
    ],
    "start": "...",

    "@comment test": "This comment is about the test script.",
    "test": "..."
  }
}

注意:在某些情况下,例如在“scripts”对象中,一些编辑器/ ide可能会抱怨数组。在脚本上下文中,VS Code期望值为字符串——而不是数组。

其他回答

我有一个有趣的黑客想法。

创建一个适当的npm包名,作为文件包中的依赖项和devDependencies块的注释分隔符。Json,例如x----x----x

{
    "name": "app-name",
    "dependencies": {
        "x----x----x": "this is the first line of a comment",
        "babel-cli": "6.x.x",
        "babel-core": "6.x.x",
        "x----x----x": "this is the second line of a comment",
        "knex": "^0.11.1",
        "mocha": "1.20.1",
        "x----x----x": "*"
    }
}

注意:您必须在最后一个注释分隔行中添加一个有效的版本,如块中的*。

我一直在这样做:

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    "about": "echo 'Say something about this project'",
    "about:clean": "echo 'Say something about the clean script'",
    "clean": "do something",
    "about:build": "echo 'Say something about building it'",
    "build": "do something",
    "about:watch": "echo 'Say something about how watch works'",
    "watch": "do something",
  }
  ...
}

这样,我既可以读取脚本本身的“伪注释”,也可以运行如下代码,在终端中查看某种帮助:

npm run about
npm run about:watch

如果你用的是纱线就更好了。

yarn about:clean

此外,正如@Dakota Jang在评论中指出的那样,你可以使用//之类的键来更清楚地表明这是一条评论。 像这样:

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    "//clean": "echo 'Say something about the clean script'",
    "clean": "do something",
    "//build": "echo 'Say something about building it'",
    "build": "do something",
    "//watch": "echo 'Say something about how watch works'",
    "watch": "do something",
  }
  ...
}

然后运行:

npm run //build
# or
yarn //build

在终端中会有一个helper输出,在包中会有一个“comment”。Json也是。

最近在Node.js邮件列表中讨论了这个问题。

根据创建npm的Isaac Schlueter的说法:

... "//"键永远不会被NPM用于任何目的,它是为注释保留的…如果想使用多行注释,可以使用数组或多个“//”键。

当使用你常用的工具(npm, yarn等)时,多个“//”键将被移除。这生存:

{ "//": [
  "first line",
  "second line" ] }

这将不复存在:

{ "//": "this is the first line of a comment",
  "//": "this is the second line of the comment" }

必须注意,"//"只能在包的根目录下使用。json对象。例如 { “/ /”:“评论!” “依赖”:{…} } 是有效的但是 { “依赖”:{ “/ /”:“评论?” } } 是无效的。 ——@david_p评论

As of pnpm 7.17.1, which was just released, you can switch to pnpm for package management, move your package.json to package.json5, and comments in package.json5 are allowed and will be preserved by pnpm. Note however that for publishing as a package to use on the npm registry (for example), a package.json5 will not be recognized by other package managers and I doubt by all of the registry's processing. So you would have to convert the package.json5 to a package.json before publishing. On the other hand, for "top-level applications" that are unlikely to be included as packages in other projects, a package.json5 seems to work just fine, as long as you then stick with pnpm as your package manager.

正如这个答案所解释的,//键是保留的,所以它可以常规地用于注释。//注释的问题是它不实用,因为它不能被多次使用。在包上删除重复的密钥。Json自动更新:

"//": "this comment about dependencies stays",
"dependencies": {}
"//": "this comment disappears",
"devDependencies": {}

另一个问题是// comment不能在依赖项和devDependencies中使用,因为它被视为常规依赖项:

"dependencies": {
  "//": "comment"
}

npm犯错!代码EINVALIDPACKAGENAME npm犯错!无效的包名“//”:名称只能包含url友好 字符

在NPM中工作的一个变通方法,而不是Yarn,是使用一个非字符串值:

"dependencies": {
  "foo": ["unused package"],
}

一个在NPM和Yarn中工作的变通方法是添加一个注释作为语义版本控制的一部分:

"dependencies": {
  "bar": "^2",
  "foo": "^2 || should be removed in 1.x release"
}

注意,如果OR之前的第一部分不匹配,则可以解析来自注释的版本,例如1.x。

需要注释但没有安装的包应该移动到另一个键,例如dependencies //:

"dependencies //": {
  "baz": "unused package",
}
