NPM-PUBLISH(3)

📦 version 1.2.1, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the npm-publish(3) page — section 3, the manual for npm-publish — and it's literally about Publish a package. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the call looks like this, exactly:

npm.commands.publish([packages,] callback)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this one publishes a package to the registry so it can be installed by name. iconic behavior, no cap.

the possible values in the packages array are:

  • <folder> — a folder containing a package.json file
  • <tarball> — a url or file path to a gzipped tar archive containing a single folder with a package.json file inside

if the package array is empty, npm will try to publish something in the current working directory. lowkey convenient 🫶

this command could fail if one of the packages specified already exists in the registry. it overwrites when the "force" environment variable is set — yes, that "force" vibe fr fr.

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

  • npm help 7 registry
  • npm help adduser
  • npm apihelp owner
