NPM is a package manager for JavaScript and TypeScript projects.

Usage

Publishing

  1. Create an account at https://npmjs.org.
  2. Login to npm using npm login.
  3. Initialize a package.json using npm init.
    • I recommend using a scoped name @username/package-name.
  4. Make a UMD build e.g. using webpack.
    • Fill in all the details in package.json.
    • For publishing the most important are: name, version, description, main, module, author, repository, license, files, homepage.
  5. Test your package.
    • Run your own tests using `npm run test`.
    • Install to another package using `npm install [dir]`.
  6. Upload to npm
    npm publish --access public
