Currently, I am working on developing a cli package and when it comes to displaying the version, I am utilizing the version imported from package.json.
Upon running tsc, the structure of the dist folder appears as follows:
/dist
--/package.json
--/README.md
--/src
----files
----...
The package.json contains the property:
"files": [
"dist/**/*"
],
When using npm pack to preview the tarball contents, only three files are packed:
npm notice 1.9kB dist/package.json
npm notice 1.7kB package.json
npm notice 1.2kB README.md
However, if I exclude importing the version from package.json, it does not end up in the dist directory and all content within dist is correctly packed.
As a temporary workaround, I am reading package.json with fs, but this solution lacks elegance.
Is there a more efficient way to resolve this issue?
