Create package.json

Nice list, thanks. With this newly proposed file I can have this repo as dependency on my npm project and then get easily the latest version of your dist folder. See more info here: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/commands/npm-install

Hi, This is interesting. I haven't thought about npm publishing. I suppose you're using the diet/google-app-ids.json file in your project, right?

Hi @petarov , yes, I'm using that json, but now I need to copy-paste it to my project. With package.json I don't need to copy-paste it, I simply download the latest version of it when I update my project with npm update and then I have it locally. And you don't need to publish to npm, you just need that file, as then I can do npm install https://github.com/petarov/google-android-app-ids

or any of these options

npm install git+ssh://git@github.com:npm/cli.git#v1.0.27
npm install git+ssh://git@github.com:npm/cli#pull/273
npm install git+ssh://git@github.com:npm/cli#semver:^5.0
npm install git+https://isaacs@github.com/npm/cli.git
npm install git://github.com/npm/cli.git#v1.0.27
npm install mygithubuser/myproject
npm install github:mygithubuser/myproject

Check: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/commands/npm-install

And after you update the list you just need to do npm version patch to advance in the version, such that others know an update of the list is available

Very cool! I didn't know about the npm install git:.. thing. Thank you for your contrib 👍

[jfoclpf]

great, I just did

npm install github:petarov/google-android-app-ids

and it worked perfectly as expected.

Perhaps you may want to add a note thereof in readme.md

[petarov]

Sure, it's in the latest README.
