sample-npm-package

This repo demonstrates on how we can create sample npm package and publishing to npm registry

Steps to create new npm package

• Create the project directory ( mkdir sample-directory )
• Change into the project directory (cd sample-directory )
• Initialise a new NPM package ( npm init ) Empty package json will be created
• Update package.json and project code (index.js)

Steps to push npm package to npm registry

(You should have account created in npm registry if not you can create new account (https://www.npmjs.com/signup)

• Open command prompt then enter npm login command and provide the login credentials

• run npm whoami to confirm

• Then run npm publish

• Your new package will be published to your npm registry like mine :) https://www.npmjs.com/package/random-number-generator-santhosh-sample-package

Testing the working of new package

• Open NPM RunKit (https://npm.runkit.com/random-number-generator-santhosh-sample-package)

• Invoke the method we created using below piece of code and click on run button

var randomNumberGeneratorSanthoshSamplePackage = require("random-number-generator-santhosh-sample-package")

console.log(randomNumberGeneratorSanthoshSamplePackage(10,5))

• I created this package to generate the random number and print it on console.

To update your package

• Make changes in your package then run npm version patch command
• Publish it to npm registry using npm publish command

Happy Coding!!
