## Usage
Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.

## Using npmextra for managing toolconfigs
The main purpose of npmextra is to configure different tools using one npmextra.json. This way complex setups avoid additional complexity caused by too many configuration files.

npmextra.json
```json
{
    "sometool": {
        "defaultKey1": "awesomeValueFromConfig"
    }
}
```

```typescript
import { Npmextra } from 'npmextra'

let myNpmExtra = new Npmextra('my/path/to/cwd') // cwd argument is optional 
mergedData = myNpmExtra.dataFor(
    'sometool',
    { // gets merged with whatever is in the configfile
        defaultKey1: 'defaultValue1', // so this will get overwritten with "awesomeValueFromConfig"
        defaultKey2: 'defaultValue2' // this one will pass through unaltered
    }
)
```

### Tools that already use the config feature of npmextra

* [npmts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npmts)
* [npmci](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npmci)
* [npmdocker](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npmdocker)
