Ship SOMOD Module

Because every SOMOD module is an NPM Package in itself, shipping the SOMOD module is the same as any other NPM Package.

Run this command to publish to the NPM registry

npm publish

Make sure that the build step is run before running the publish. If not done, the shipped tar file contains no build.

Example

The example user management module that we created in Develop guide is shipped to NPM Public Registry at https://www.npmjs.com/package/somod-example-user-management

NPM Registries

An NPM Registry is web-based storage of artifacts whose APIs are compatible with the NPM CLI.

https://npmjs.com is a public registry holding all public packages. SOMOD recommends only the public SOMOD modules be pushed to this registry. Any other modules, private, > getting-started, or examples to be pushed to private NPM registries

GitHub > and GitLab provide a way to have your own private NPM > registry.

In the Next chapter, let us understand how to reuse a shipped SOMOD module.
