Usage
readPackageJSON
import { readPackageJSON } from "pkg-types";
const localPackageJson = await readPackageJSON();
// or
const packageJson = await readPackageJSON("/fully/resolved/path/to/folder");
writePackageJSON
import { writePackageJSON } from "pkg-types";
await writePackageJSON("path/to/package.json", pkg);
resolvePackageJSON
import { resolvePackageJSON } from "pkg-types";
const filename = await resolvePackageJSON();
// or
const packageJson = await resolvePackageJSON("/fully/resolved/path/to/folder");
readTSConfig
import { readTSConfig } from "pkg-types";
const tsconfig = await readTSConfig();
// or
const tsconfig2 = await readTSConfig("/fully/resolved/path/to/folder");
writeTSConfig
import { writeTSConfig } from "pkg-types";
await writeTSConfig("path/to/tsconfig.json", tsconfig);
resolveTSConfig
import { resolveTSConfig } from "pkg-types";
const filename = await resolveTSConfig();
// or
const tsconfig = await resolveTSConfig("/fully/resolved/path/to/folder");
resolveFile
import { resolveFile } from "pkg-types";
const filename = await resolveFile("README.md", {
  startingFrom: id,
  rootPattern: /^node_modules$/,
  matcher: (filename) => filename.endsWith(".md"),
});
resolveLockFile
Find path to the lock file (yarn.lock, package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, npm-shrinkwrap.json) or throws an error.
import { resolveLockFile } from "pkg-types";
const lockfile = await resolveLockFile(".");
findWorkspaceDir
Try to detect workspace dir by in order:
- Nearest 
.gitdirectory - Farthest lockfile
 - Farthest 
package.jsonfile 
If fails, throws an error.
import { findWorkspaceDir } from "pkg-types";
const workspaceDir = await findWorkspaceDir(".");
Types
Note: In order to make types working, you need to install typescript as a devDependency.
You can directly use typed interfaces:
import type { TSConfig, PackageJSON } from "pkg-types";
You can also use define utils for type support for using in plain .js files and auto-complete in IDE.
import type { definePackageJSON } from 'pkg-types'
const pkg = definePackageJSON({})
import type { defineTSConfig } from 'pkg-types'
const pkg = defineTSConfig({})
