"node -r package.json" - how to access inside object?

Question

Following some other answer I am trying to retrieve values from package.json.

With "preload" feature I hope to do it like this:

echo 'console.log(???.name)' | node -r package.json

But the ??? bit is missing. What could it be in this case? Thanks.

For the time being I have resorted to `echo 'console.log(require("./package.json").name)' | node`, but this question still stands — Roman Saveljev, Dec 17 '15 at 11:05
@LazarevAlexandr from `node --help`: `-r, --require module to preload (option can be repeated)` — Roman Saveljev, Dec 17 '15 at 14:26

You can try

var package = require('./package.json');

for (var i in package) {
      if (typeof package[i] === 'object' && package[i].hasOwnProperty("name"))
          console.log(package[i].name)
}
