improvement: possibility to use glob

[dnepro]

Hello everybody :)
first of thanks for your work, i just found it and its awesome!

I want to ask if there is a possibility to add a glob pattern option, because i got a lerna-monorepo, like babel does.

Or for the beginning maybe the possibility to add multiple -f {path}-arguments to a single command.

But of course globbing would make it a lot more useful in scenarios like:

• scan whole project repo
• lerna setup (my scenario)
• usage of lint-staged (also my scenario)
• usage with CI tools

Hi @dnepro, thank you for using the project! I really like your suggestion 👍 I'll try to get to this soon.

I've just started creating a npm-package-json-lint-config myself and arrived here as I was trying to find how I'd support the ~20 packages in my Lerna repo myself.

Looks like writing ~21 npm run pjl-cli <glob> commands in the root package.json is the only available option which for obvious reasons is not ideal.

I'll look forward to being able not do that 😃

As an interim workaround, a single script leveraging the Lerna exec command:

npx lerna exec 'npx -p npm-package-json-lint -p npm-package-json-lint-config-default -c "pjl-cli -c ../../.npmpackagejsonlintrc"'

The above uses a .npmpackagejsonlintrc in the root of the Lerna repo extends the npm-package-json-lint-config-default config with a handful of rule tweaks

Hi @dnepro and @ntwb - a pre-release of v3.0.0 has been published to npm. The documentation is still a little sparse (that will change by the stable release). You can try it out by installing npm-package-json-lint@beta. Here is a link to the start of the migration guide. The way you specify your globs should be pretty flexible. You don't have to specifically say you are looking for package.json files (It doesn't hurt anything if you do). The globbing process also automatically ignores all package.json files found in subdirectories of node_modules directories. As as result, you can simply add a . to start the scan at the current working directory if you want.

Let me know what you think!

v3.0.0 has been released! 🎉
