    Properties

    name: string

    Name of the package.

    Some rules:

    The name must be less than or equal to 214 characters. This includes the scope for scoped packages.

    The names of scoped packages can begin with a dot or an underscore. This is not permitted without a scope.

    New packages must not have uppercase letters in the name.

    The name ends up being part of a URL, an argument on the command line, and a folder name. Therefore, the name can't contain any non-URL-safe characters

    version: string

    Current package version.

    Version must be parseable by node-semver, which is bundled with npm as a dependency.
