Output as JSON?

[NightMachinery]

I like to run a custom script to install my node packages. Is there a way to set the command that is used for installation or just get the output as something machine parseable?

Okay, let me see if I understand! Right now, you can only choose among yarn and npm to handle the installation. What you are suggesting, though, is that we could add an option to add a custom installation handler, or possibly return a JSON output representing selected dependencies. Is that correct?

Correct! I install my packages using my own wrapper around npm, which installs stuff globally and adds them to a file so that I can reinstall everything on a new machine easily.
