Create Default Package.Json File

Open a new command prompt window and navigate to the folder that has your C#project file (.csproj file). Before we install Webpack, let us first create a package.json file. The package.json file holds metadata information and is used to give information to npm about a project’s (module)dependencies. To create a “default” package.json file, type the “npm init” command:

npm init -y

The “-y” option uses default options.

If the command was successful, it should have created a package.json file with contents similar to this:

{
  "name": "demo",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
  }
