Problem
One of the most popular use cases for pkg get command is getting values for other scripts as variables. However currently it's returning the value with quotes:
npm pkg get version
"4.12.2"
The current solution is to use it in a pipe and remove quotes somehow with sed or jq. It's ok, but this solution si not cross-platform or requires additional packages installation.
Suggestion
To introduce --raw/-r flag for npm pkg get command
Thus, for the following command we will expect the raw value:
npm pkg get version --raw
4.12.2
What do you think? It's a simple case but you can see how much discussion about this topic:
