Question about publishing #13

Closed dions00 closed 7 years ago

dions00 commented 7 years ago

I'm trying to test the publish of a library. When I use 'npm pack', the ng2-your-library-0.0.0.tgz file doesn't contain any javascript or d.ts files

Can you explain to me what I should put inside the package.json? I tried:
... "main": "ng2-your-library", "typings": "index.d.ts", ... What are the files the tgz file will have, the contain of the dist folder?

Thanks, Stephane

I am wondering the same thing. I'm not sure how to generate the actual library files and package them

Hi @dions00 @gabwh @stratus1011 sorry for late response; you don't need to use npm pack for publishing. Instead, please follow these instructions to publish (new simpler publishing prep steps): https://github.com/preboot/angular-library-seed/blob/master/PUBLISHING.md

Repo was just updated to use new ngx prefix; also dependencies were updated.

There's a couple other things I want to add to make this a bit nicer, please refer to this issue: https://github.com/preboot/angular-library-seed/issues/10 mainly outputting a UMD bundle.

/cc @shlomiassaf thanks for tips there - will look at your resources - if you get a chance or have any interest in submitting a PR to add support for UMD bundling would be greatly appreciated.
