json-package

Fetches any property from package.json using short prefix jso dep is same as cat package.json | grep dependencies

Install and use

npm install -g json-package

Installs shortcuts "jso" and "j"

Then use jso <property name prefix> to show any property from package.json

Example: show version

jso v
j v

If there are multiple properties starting with the same prefix, the jso will show choices

Show in action

Differences from `npm view <package name> [property]`

There is a command npm view that can do the same - and more. I prefer using json-package for these reasons

json-package only does the local lookup, thus faster and less typing
json-package matches property by prefix, again less typing

npm-quick-run - run NPM script command by prefix
json - powerful display and processig for JSON files
