You have registered and created a registry on Repsy. You are now ready to publish packages to your registry.
To create an npm package, you can use npm cli’s init command. Since Repsy only supports scoped packages, package names must include a scope name like @foo/foo. You can make it by providing the --scope parameter to the command as follows:
npm init --scope foo -y
If this command is executed successfully, a package.json file will be generated automatically. This file is required to publish your packages. You can learn more about the file of package.json here.
You currently have an empty npm package. The only missing part is the authentication. In order to successfully publish packages to your default registry, you must authenticate to your registries separately for each different scope.
To authenticate, you can use the login command with the scope name and the registry URL. For the scope foo, you can run:
npm login --scope foo --registry https://repo.repsy.io/npm/<username>/<registryName>
This command will ask you username, password, and email address. Please use the same username and password here that you used to register to Repsy, but the email address may vary. If this command is executed successfully, you will be authenticated to the registry and be ready to publish your package. As a final step, please run the following command:
npm publish
With this command npm will pack and publish the package to your default registry.
Congratulations, you have created and published a package to your registry! You can now install your package into any project you want and use safely.
