Publishing Packages

Before you can publish a private module, you should follow the steps outlined in the CLI Configuration documentation.

To create a private module, all you need to do is initialize an npm module with the same scope that you used while logging in:

1. Create a folder with the name of your module, e.g., my-test-module.

2. Run npm init specifying the scope you used while logging in (see Using npm Enterprise for Private Packages):

   npm init --scope=@mycompany

3. Fill in information when prompted to generate a package.json file.

4. Write your module. When you're ready, type npm publish.

   Note: some auth strategies introduce additional requirements, e.g., the GitHub Strategy requires that you populate the repository field in your package.json.
