Description as field

[SaurabhKumarJindal]

shall be added package description as field to have complete license information about the packages.

I think, it would be great to have an field option 'description'. if there is not available for the package then can empty or n\a.

If I'm right, any field in the package.json file can be used as output field by using the configuration (see section Select fields for output).

In your case the following configuration should do the trick:

"description": {
    "value": 'n/a',
    "label": 'Description'
  },
"fields": [
    "name",
    "installedVersion",
    :
    :
    "description"
  ]

Please let me know, if I misunderstood your requirement or if my proposition does not work.
