How to regenerate a package.json and package-lock.json file for a node js project?

Is there a way to regenerate a package.json file from the source code, I have cloned a work repo but the other developer had .gitignore file as this:

.gitignore

node_modules/
.env
package-lock.json
package.json
*.json

Hence I have the source code but I can not run it until I have all the dependencies. How could I achieve this? I tried

npm init -y
npm i

But it did not install the dependencies

I think the shortest way to solve this is to go through the code and find the required packages, then install them via NPM i.
