How to create npm package module?
To create a new Node.js module as an npm package, you can follow these steps:
Create a new directory for your module and navigate to it in your terminal.
Run
npm initcommand and provide the necessary information like module name, version, description, etc. This will create apackage.jsonfile in your directory.Create a JavaScript file in your module directory to define your module's functionality.
Define your module's functionality by writing the necessary code in your JavaScript file.
Export your module's functionality by assigning it to the
exportsobject in your JavaScript file.Write tests for your module's functionality and save them in a separate test directory.
Install any dependencies that your module requires using the
npm installcommand. Make sure to add them to yourpackage.jsonfile as dependencies.Once you have written your module code and tests, you can publish your module to the npm registry by running
npm publishcommand. If this is your first time publishing to the npm registry, you will need to create an account and login usingnpm addusercommand.Your module is now published to the npm registry and can be installed using the
npm installcommand from any other project.
Remember to follow best practices for creating Node.js modules, including properly documenting your code and using semantic versioning.
