Is there a way with the js plugin to add to the package.json file that's created in build/js?

[Robert Jaros]

What do you want to add?

[andrewreitz]

I want to add a start command so that I can test my function w/ GCP / Firebase

[andrewreitz]

also need to tell it which file is the “main” for the project.

[andrewreitz]

nodejs() {
      runTask {
        nodeJs.npmInstallTask.packageJsonFiles
      }
    }

looks maybe like I could this way

I used this way to add resolution to this package.json file:

cool thanks, right now I was reading the entire package.json in and then chagnging it to what I want and writing it out again. Probably invalidating the cache every time.

I was trying to copy the entire directory but that wasn’t working, something with the copy task messes up and binary files that are in node_modules
