Example of publishing an NPM package to Github Packages via Github Actions.

Features:

• Publish as both ESM and CJS modules via hybrid approach targeting modern bundlers
• TypeScript support
• Jest testing and coverage
• Github Actions for testing and publishing package

• This is a template, so you can clone the repo by clicking Use this template in Github.
• Change package.json and update all the @briangershon to your account name and replace npm-package-minimal with the name of your repo. The name field (in package.json) is particularly important since this is needed for publishing your module. Also reset your version to an initial value such as 0.0.1 or 1.0.0.

Since this module is not being published to the NPM registry, you need to tell npm how to access the package on Github Package Registry.

# create your own personal github token with `repo` and `read:packages` scopes
# and use it as your password in the next step:
npm login --registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com --scope=@briangershon
npm install @briangershon/npm-package-minimal

Commit your changes in a branch. Create PR.

Merge your PR to main.

git pull locally.

Update version, tag it and push to Github via:

npm version patch -s -m "my release"
# `postversion` hook will then push to Github

Finally, create a release on Github.com to trigger publish action.
