updtr eats my tabs in package.json and replaces it with spaces (npm)

[moritzjacobs]

Awesome tool, I just have a small, very low priority issue with it: I use tabs in my package.json – I know, right? npm totally respects my decision, updtr does not, here's a reproducible testcase:

mkdir updtr-test
cd updtr-test
npm init --yes

gives us this package.json:

{
  "name": "updtr-test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

Now remove the test (so updtr doesn't fail later) and entab:

{
	"name": "updtr-test",
	"version": "1.0.0",
	"description": "",
	"main": "index.js",
	"scripts": {},
	"keywords": [],
	"author": "",
	"license": "ISC"
}

then npm i del@2.2.2, which is an old version. package.json looks like:

{
	"name": "updtr-test",
	"version": "1.0.0",
	"description": "",
	"main": "index.js",
	"scripts": {},
	"keywords": [],
	"author": "",
	"license": "ISC",
	"dependencies": {
		"del": "^2.2.2"
	}
}

So tabs all the way. Nice. Now run updtr, lo and behold:

{
  "name": "updtr-test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {},
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "del": "^3.0.0"
  }
}

... we're back to 2 spaces, or as I call it: no indentation at all.

Nothing prettier doesn't solve for me, just a small issue. Great tool tho!
