Template that you can use to create a Node.js library, ready to be published in NPM. It does not use any bundler.
If you are wondering whether or not you need a bundler for your purposes, you can read this answer on stackoverflow and maybe this blog article.
The procedure is fairly simple.
- Use this project as a template.
- Refill the 'name' property of package.json with your own project name. Replace 'description', 'keys' and 'author' with your own values and clear the readme:
cat /dev/null > README.md. Update the license. - Copy the example npmrc file as '.npmrc':
cp .npmrc.example .npmrcand replace the placeholder with a Personal Access Token created with 'write:packages' as scope. - Do
pnpm install. If you don't have pnpm yet, follow this guide. - To test if your library works as intended before publishing, use npm as explained here to avoid headaches.
- When you're ready to publish, do
pnpm publish.
