# create-author

A simple CLI tool to add author information to your package.json file.

## 📦 Installation

You can use this tool directly with npx (no installation required):

```bash
npx create-author
```

Or install it globally:

```bash
npm install -g create-author
```

## 🚀 Usage

Navigate to a directory containing a [package.json] file and run:

```bash
npm init author
```

The tool will prompt you for the following information:
1. Author name (required)
2. Author email (optional)
3. Author URL (optional)

After providing the information, the tool will update your [package.json]file with the author details.

## 📋 Example

```bash
$ npm init author
Please enter author information for package.json:
Author name: John Doe
Author email (optional): jvy@qq.com
Author URL (optional): https://hub.js.cn
Author information successfully added to package.json
```

This will add the following to your `package.json`:

```json
{
  "author": {
    "name": "JVY",
    "email": "jvy@qq.com",
    "url": "https://hub.js.cn"
  }
}
```

If you only provide a name, it will create a simpler entry:

```json
{
  "author": {
    "name": "John Doe"
  }
}
```

## 🛠 Requirements

- Node.js 12 or higher
- A `package.json` file in the current directory
