javascript - NPM Pack: Rename package directory - Stack Overflow

I have a small script that uses npm pack to package a certain nodejs module. When I unpack the .tgz created by the npm pack mand the directory inside is named package. My question is if there's a way to rename this package to the acutal name of the project?

Package.json

{
   "name": "package_name",
   "version": "0.0.3",
   "description": "A description",
   "main": "server.js",
   "scripts": {
      "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
   },
   "author": "",
   "license": "ISC",
   "dependencies": {
      "request": "2.55.0"
   },
   "devDependencies": {
      "grunt": "0.4.5",
      "grunt-contrib-concat": "0.5.1"
   }
}

Here's to code I'm using, might be helpful.

npm.load('./some/path', function (er) {
    if (er) {
       res.send("er");
    }
    npmmands.pack(['./another/path'], function (er, data) {
    if (er) {
       res.send("error");
    }

    var fileName = __dirname+"/projectName-0.0.3.tgz";
    res.sendFile(fileName, {
         headers: {
             "Content-Type": "application/x-tar"
         }
    });
});

});

• The tar created by npm pack seems required to have a specific format. Since it serves the purpose of being public via npm repository – Kirill Slatin Commented Apr 18, 2015 at 13:38
• According to last mit to pack.js in npm it is impossible to override this behavior unless you rebuild your own npm – Kirill Slatin Commented Apr 18, 2015 at 13:44
• I have the same question, I opened an issue here: github./npm/npm/issues/10227 – nnyby Commented Nov 2, 2015 at 16:20

@Kirill Slatin is correct. The npm pack format is intended for internal consumption, so npm does not provide an affordance for changing the name from package to something else.

However, you can change the names while extracting if your tar supports the -s switch. On OSX, you can do:

tar -xvz -s/package/foo/ -f foo-1.0.0.tgz

(Edited, thanks David G for pointing out the error.)
