# Publishing to npm
This document contains instructions for publishing this package to npm.
## Prerequisites
1. You need an npm account. Sign up at https://www.npmjs.com/ if you don't have one.
2. You need to be logged in to npm from your command line.
## Steps to Publish
1. **Ensure your code is ready for publishing**
- Make sure all necessary files are included (and unnecessary ones excluded via .npmignore)
- Verify that the package.json is correctly configured
2. **Make the main script executable**
```bash
chmod +x src/index.js
```
3. **Login to npm (if you haven't already)**
```bash
npm login
```
4. **Publish to npm**
```bash
npm publish
```
5. **For future updates**
- Update the version number in package.json
- Run `npm publish` again
## Setting up GitHub Actions for Automatic Publishing (Optional)
You can set up a GitHub workflow to automatically publish to npm when you create a new release.
1. Create a GitHub secret called `NPM_TOKEN` with your npm token
2. Create a file at `.github/workflows/publish-npm.yml` with the following content:
```yaml
name: Publish to npm
on:
release:
types: [created]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
with:
node-version: '18.x'
registry-url: 'https://registry.npmjs.org/'
- run: npm ci
- run: chmod +x src/index.js
- run: npm publish
env:
NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{secrets.NPM_TOKEN}}
```
