{"id":27182,"library":"npm-build","title":"npm-build","description":"npm-build is a CLI tool to generate npm build scripts. Version 0.0.1 is an early release with limited documentation. It appears to be a simple generator for common build tasks in npm projects. There are no known alternatives specifically for this niche, but similar functionality can be achieved using tools like 'npm-build-boilerplate' or manual scripting. The package is not actively maintained and has low adoption. It may not handle complex build configurations or integrate with modern tools like webpack or esbuild. Limited community support and no recent updates make it suitable only for basic needs.","status":"active","version":"0.0.1","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/jlison/npm-build","tags":["javascript","build","scripts","generator","npm"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install npm-build","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add npm-build","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add npm-build","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"Package likely uses default export or no exports; import may not work as expected.
