aube init

  • Usage: aube init [FLAGS]

Create a package.json in the current directory

Flags

--bare

Create a package.json with only the bare minimum of required fields

--init-package-manager

Pin the project to the current aube version.

Adds a packageManager field to package.json.

--init-type <commonjs|module>

Set the module system for the package. Defaults to commonjs

Choices:

  • commonjs
  • module

--fetch-retries <N>

Number of retry attempts for failed registry fetches.

Overrides fetchRetries / fetch-retries from .npmrc / aube-workspace.yaml when set. Pair with --fetch-timeout to fail fast in scripted test runs.

--fetch-retry-factor <N>

Exponential backoff factor between retry attempts.

Overrides fetchRetryFactor / fetch-retry-factor from .npmrc / aube-workspace.yaml when set. Integer-only — the underlying FetchPolicy.retry_factor is u32. Fractional values like 1.5 are rejected by clap.

--fetch-retry-maxtimeout <MS>

Upper bound (ms) on the computed retry backoff.

Overrides fetchRetryMaxtimeout / fetch-retry-maxtimeout from .npmrc / aube-workspace.yaml when set.

--fetch-retry-mintimeout <MS>

Lower bound (ms) on the computed retry backoff.

Overrides fetchRetryMintimeout / fetch-retry-mintimeout from .npmrc / aube-workspace.yaml when set.

--fetch-timeout <MS>

Per-request HTTP timeout in milliseconds.

Overrides fetchTimeout / fetch-timeout from .npmrc / aube-workspace.yaml when set. Applied via reqwest's .timeout() so it covers headers + body together.

--registry <URL>

Override the default registry URL for this invocation.

Use this npm registry URL for package metadata, tarballs, audit requests, dist-tags, and registry writes.
