. - Ensure that your
package.json
file has all the necessary information, such as name, version, and dependencies. - Verify the contents by verifying that you can publish your package.
- version your package with NPM by running
npm version
command to update the version number of your package. - Once you are ready, run the
npm login
command to authenticate withnpmjs.com
- Run the
npm publish
command to publish your package publicly to the registry. - After publishing, confirm that your package is available on the NPM registry by visiting the package URL on
