A sample repository containing a dead simple module:

// index.js
module.exports = 42

to show how to publish a NPM package, here called: auqlue.

NB: AUQLUE is the acronym for the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything" which is 42 🙂.

Publish to NPM

Ready to publish a new version to NPM registry?

Manually

1. bump the package.json version
2. npm login if not already
3. npm publish

If successful, you should want to tag the version:

$ git add package.json
$ git commit -m "bump version"
$ git tag v1.0.1
$ git push --tags

Using CI/CD workflow

Pre-requisite:

1. Generate a NPM token
2. Set it as NPM_TOKEN secret (in Settings > Secrets and as referenced into cicd.yml file)

Then, to release a new version on npm:

1. bump the package.json version
2. then, create a new realese and wait for the ci/cd publish it :)
