How can I automate package.json validation in my project?

You can automate package.json validation by using tools like ajv or jsonschema in your build process.

Can you show me an example of how to set that up?

Sure! You can create a script in your package.json that runs the validation command. For example:

"scripts": {
  "validate": "ajv validate -s schema.json -d package.json"
}

What kind of schema should I use for validation?

You can define a JSON schema that specifies the required fields and their types for package.json. Here's a simple example:

{
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "name": { "type": "string" },
    "version": { "type": "string" },
    "dependencies": { "type": "object" }
  },
  "required": ["name", "version"]
}
