Create your personalized NPX introduction card

Step 1: Select a Unique Package Name

Choose a distinctive name for your package, as it will be the identifier for invoking your introduction command using npx.

Step 2: Establish a New Directory

Create a fresh directory for your package, naming it after the chosen package name.

mkdir npx-username
cd npx-username

Step 3: Initialize Your Package

Initialize your project as a Node.js package using the command:

npm init -y

Step 4: Develop an Executable Script

Within your project directory, create a JavaScript file named index.js and store it in a folder named bin. This file will function as the executable script for your npx command.

Ensure to specify the bin field in package.json:

"bin": {
  "username": "./bin/index.js"
}

To enable script execution, follow these steps:

For Mac/Linux:

chmod +x bin/index.js

For Windows:

git update-index --chmod=+x bin/index.js

Step 5: Add your script to execute and display in terminal

Execute your script with the following command:

node bin/index.js

Step 6: Publish the package

Once your script runs successfully, publish the package:

1. Log in to npm:

npm adduser

2. After logging in, return to the terminal and run:

npm publish

Step 7: Execute Your NPX Command

Once the package is published, run your npx command:

npx username
