Read JSON and assign to a list of make variables

Question

I can get a value from package.json with this:

LAST_VERSION := $(shell node -p "require('./package.json').version")

But what if I need several values? Like:

PROJECT     := $(shell node -p "require('./package.json').name")
LAST_VERSION:= $(shell node -p "require('./package.json').version")
DESCRIPTION := $(shell node -p "require('./package.json').description")
PROJECT_URL := $(shell node -p "require('./package.json').repository.url")

Is this the only way? Maybe there is a way to create kind of a list.

Answer 1

At the end, I came up with this:

define GetFromPkg
$(shell node -p "require('./package.json').$(1)")
endef

PROJECT      := $(call GetFromPkg,name)
LAST_VERSION := $(call GetFromPkg,version)
DESCRIPTION  := $(call GetFromPkg,description)
PROJECT_URL  := $(call GetFromPkg,repository.url)
