Package.json Scaffold Generator
Build a small JSON manifest from structured fields. Choose only the scripts and development dependencies your project needs, supply compatible version ranges, then copy or download package.json.
Starter only. Provide index.js for start/dev. Build requires TypeScript and your tsconfig.json; lint requires your ESLint config. Select compatible dependency versions and Node.js yourself. No latest versions, runtime dependencies, installation, configuration files or compatibility checks are supplied. Ranges support numeric versions, partial versions, x/*, ^/~, comparators and ||; tags, URLs and hyphen ranges are excluded.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Enter a kebab-case name, SemVer version, description, author, license, module type and optional Node.js range.
- Select scripts and development dependencies, then enter a version range for each selected dependency.
- Generate, review, copy or download package.json and configure your project separately.
Explicit dependency versions
Select TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier, Jest, Vitest, nodemon, tsx, @types/node or husky with your own version ranges. Blank selected ranges are rejected. Numeric and partial versions, x/*, ^/~, comparators and || are supported; tags, URLs and hyphen ranges are excluded. Compatibility is not resolved.
Scripts and configuration
start/dev target index.js; dev requires nodemon. build requires TypeScript and your tsconfig.json; lint requires ESLint and its config; format requires Prettier. Choose one test command: node --test, Jest or Vitest. Review Node.js support, module format, test files and dependency configuration yourself; selecting husky does not install Git hooks.
Local starter only
JSON is serialized locally. No source files, lockfile, runtime dependencies, installation, registry lookup, publication or project validation are provided. License choice records an identifier and does not establish compliance.
GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Are the dependency versions current?
The tool supplies no versions. Enter ranges you have chosen and checked for your project.
Can I use the output without configuration?
Review it first. Supply source and configuration files, install compatible dependencies, and verify the project yourself.
