feat: add hoist command

hoist

Take a property from multiple package.json files and merge them into the target package.json. When hoisting dependencies and multiple sources contain the same dependency, the newest version will be used. When hoisting scripts with the same name, they will be namespaced on the target like so “build:packagename”.

Options

-s, --source [pattern]  glob pattern for package.json files to read from
-t, --target [pattern]  glob pattern for package.json files to write to
-p, --prop [name]       path to property to hoist
-e, --exclude [name]    path to property to exclude from hoisting
-i, --indent [value]    override indentation. defaults to "  "
-h, --help              output usage information

Examples

# uses packages defined in lerna.json as default sources and ./package.json as default target
syncpack hoist --prop "devDependencies"
# nested properties can be hoisted like this
syncpack hoist --prop "devDependencies.gulp"
# properties can be excluded like this
syncpack hoist --prop "devDependencies" --exclude "devDependencies.jest"
# uses packages defined by --source and --target when provided
syncpack hoist --prop "devDependencies" --source "apps/*/package.json" --target "package.json"
# multiple sources can be provided like this
syncpack hoist --prop "devDependencies" --source "apps/*/package.json" --source "core/*/package.json"
# multiple targets can be provided like this
syncpack hoist --prop "devDependencies" --source "packages/foo/package.json" --target "packages/bar/package.json" --target "packages/baz/package.json"
# multiple properties can be provided like this
syncpack hoist --prop "devDependencies" --prop "scripts"
# indent package.json with 4 spaces instead of 2
syncpack hoist --prop "devDependencies" --indent "    "

This sounds really useful! Would also need a list of deps not to hoist (e.g. jest)

@JamieMason Haha thanks, though better-deps is definitely still early/experimental stage, and I’m not sure long-term whether it makes sense as its own tool or would be better to combine the functionality into one or more existing tools (such as syncpack). I hadn’t thought about hoisting as something syncpack could handle, but I can see how that would make sense.
