Documented steps

  1. Ensure each package to publish is a declared workspace with a unique name/version in its package.json
  2. Authenticate to the registry first: npm login (or set NODE_AUTH_TOKEN / registry-scoped _authToken in .npmrc in CI)
  3. Set package visibility: scoped packages default to restricted; publish public with npm publish --access public if you are not using a paid npm org
  4. Publish a specific workspace with npm publish -w <workspace-name> (or from within the workspace dir)
  5. Run npm publish --dry-run first to preview the tarball contents
  6. Control exactly which files ship by setting the files field in package.json and checking npm pack --dry-run output
  7. Verify the published version with npm view <pkg> versions --json
