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

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.

其他回答

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

免责声明:你可能不应该使用这个黑客。请看下面的评论。


下面是另一个在JSON中添加注释的技巧。自:

{"a": 1, "a": 2}

等于

{"a": 2}

你可以这样做:

{
  "devDependencies": "'mocha' not needed as should be globally installed",
  "devDependencies" :  {
    "should": "*"
  }
}

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。

由于重复的注释键被删除运行包。json工具(npm, yarn等),我开始使用散列版本,允许更好地阅读多行和键,如:

"//": {
  "alpaca": "we use the bootstrap version",
  "eonasdan-bootstrap-datetimepicker": "instead of bootstrap-datetimepicker",
  "moment-with-locales": "is part of moment"
},

根据我的IDE作为根键,这是“有效的”,但在依赖关系中,它抱怨期望字符串值。

以下是我对包内评论的看法。Json / bower.json:

我有文件package.json.js,其中包含一个脚本,导出实际的package.json。运行脚本将覆盖旧包。Json并告诉我它所做的更改,完美地帮助你跟踪NPM所做的自动更改。这样,我甚至可以通过编程方式定义我想要使用的包。
