Configuration
2 fields, 2 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.

tag The dist-tag to act on, such as latest, next or beta. | string | Yes | — | — | next |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.

"package": "express",
"tag": "next"
}Output
One shape.
