ynp
A better
np
, with yarn.
Why
- Interactive UI
- Ensures you are publishing from the
master
branch - Ensures the working directory is clean and that there are no unpulled changes
- Reinstalls dependencies to ensure your project works with the latest dependency tree
- Runs the tests
- Bumps the version in package.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json (if present) and creates a git tag
- Prevents accidental publishing of pre-release versions under the
latest
dist-tag - Publishes the new version to npm, optionally under a dist-tag
- Pushes commits and tags to GitHub
Install
$ npm install --global np
Usage
$ np --help
Usage
$ np <version>

patch | minor | major | prepatch | preminor | premajor | prerelease | 1.2.3
Options
--any-branch Allow publishing from any branch
--no-cleanup Skips cleanup of node_modules
--yolo Skips cleanup and testing
--no-publish Skips publishing
--tag Publish under a given dist-tag
Examples
$ np
$ np patch
$ np 1.0.2
$ np 1.0.2-beta.3 --tag=beta
Interactive UI
Run np
without arguments to launch the interactive UI that guides you through publishing a new version.
Tips
npm hooks
You can use any of the test/version/publish related npm lifecycle hooks in your package.json to add extra behavior.
For example, here we build the documentation before tagging the release:
{
"name": "my-awesome-package",
"scripts": {
"preversion": "./build-docs"
}
}
Signed Git tag
Set the sign-git-tag
npm config to have the Git tag signed:
$ npm config set sign-git-tag true
Private packages
You can use np
for packages that aren't publicly published to npm (perhaps installed from a private git repo).
Set "private": true
in your package.json
and the publish step will be skipped. All other steps
including versioning and pushing tags will still be completed.
Public scoped packages
To publish scoped packages to the public registry, you need to set the access level to public
. You can do that by adding the following to your package.json
:
"publishConfig": {
"access": "public"
}
Publish to a custom registry
Set the registry
option in package.json to the URL of your registry:
"publishConfig":{
"registry": "http://my-internal-registry.local"
}
Publish with a CI
If you use a Continuous Integration server to publish your tagged commits, use the --no-publish
flag to skip the publishing step of np
.
Initial version
For new packages, start the version
field in package.json at 0.0.0
and let np
bump it to 1.0.0
or 0.1.0
when publishing.
Prerequisite step runs forever on macOS Sierra
If you're running macOS Sierra or higher and previously stored your Git SSH-key in the keychain (So you don't have to enter your password on every single Git command), it happens that the prerequisite
step runs forever. This is because macOS Sierra no longer stores the SSH-key in the keychain by default, so it prompts for a password during the prerequisite
step, but you're not able to input it. The solution is to open ~/.ssh/config
(if it doesn't exist create it), add or modify AddKeysToAgent yes
, and save the file. To add your SSH-key to the keychain, you have to run a simple Git command like git fetch
. Your credentials should now be stored in the keychain and you're able to use np
again.
