Publishing to npm

We are finally ready to publish our component to npm. Here is our publishing checklist:

1. Check Version Number

   • Ensure that the version number in your package.json file is correct and follows semantic versioning rules. Each time you publish to npm, you must use a new version number.

2. Run Tests

   • Ensure all tests pass:

     $ npm test

3. Create Build Files

   • Create the build files:

     $ npm run build

   • Both UMD and ESM module formats are created and placed in the /dist folder. Note that React is not bundled alongside your component. Only your component code and any dependencies are included.

4. Log into npm

   • Ensure you are logged into npm. If not, type:

     $ npm login

5. Publish Your Component

   • Publish your component:

     $ npm publish
