project-name & project-version not being set

[thedark1337]

I'm using the latest version of documentation.js (v4.0.0-beta.18) , node.js version 7.7.1, npm version 4.3.0 on windows 10.

The command to generate docs is: documentation build lib/*.js -c documentation.yml -f html -o docs

I am working on a project generating documentation and it seems that the version doesn't get picked up automatically nor the name.

A snippet of the package.json

{  "name": "myProject",
  "description": "description for myProject",
  "version": "5.0.0-beta.3"
}

I can however set the project version via --project-version and documentation.yml with:

 project-version: 
  - 5.0.0-beta.3 

project-name seems to not be set with all of those methods.

I tried searching to see if this was a known issue but didn't see anything come up. Would be great if I could set these values somehow 👍

This is essentially the gist of #406

I think the intent is:

• If a project-name is provided, use that
• If a project-name is not provided and there is a nearby package.json, use that
• If a project-name is not provided and there is one input file, use its name

And

• If someone wants to not use package.json or the input filename, they can set --project-name=""

Does that sound right? I want to make this convenient, but also explicit - otherwise there could be automatic behavior that's hard to manually override.

Yes, that does sound correct to me 👍
