Is there a way to automatically build the package.json file for Node.js projects

The package.json file is used by npm to learn about your node.js project.

Use npm init to generate package.json files for you!

It comes bundled with npm. Read its documentation here: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init

Also, there’s an official tool you can use to generate this file programmatically: https://github.com/npm/init-package-json
