Create a Vanilla JavaScript Package on npm

November 2025

These are my notes for creating the npm package for bitty

Pick the folder you want to use for the package and do the following

Create a package.json file using @username for the scope along with the name of the project.

{
  "name": "@alanwsmith/test-package",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "a test package to see how things work",
  "license": "CC0-1.0",
  "author": "Alan W. Smith"
}

Create a README.md file next to the package.json file with details about the package.
Log into npm if you aren't already (can check with npm whoami)

npm login
Publish the package with:
```
npm publish --access public
```
