FAQPage Schema
How do I automate npm package releases including version bumps, testing, and publishing?▼

You can automate npm package releases end-to-end by bumping versions across manifests, updating CHANGELOG and README, building, testing, committing, tagging, publishing, and pushing changes in a single workflow.

What is the best way to bump versions across multiple manifests for a Node.js release?▼

Bumping versions across manifests requires manual synchronization rather than relying on npm version. This approach ensures your package.json and related files stay aligned before committing and tagging your release.

Can I publish pre-release versions of my npm package using an automated workflow?▼

Yes, the automated npm publish workflow supports patch, minor, and major version bumps, as well as pre-releases. It applies to any Node.js project with a package.json and typical release workflows.

Does the release workflow run tests before publishing to the npm registry?▼

Yes, the workflow ensures build and tests pass before publishing to npm. This safe verification step prevents broken or failing packages from being released to the registry.

How do I trigger an end-to-end npm release from my project root?▼

Initiate the release workflow from the project root to start the sequence of version bumping, changelog updates, building, testing, and finally publishing to npm with optional global installation.

What are the limitations of using manual version bumps instead of npm version for releases?▼

Manual version bumps require you to update versions across all manifests yourself without the npm version command. You must ensure synchronization manually, but this provides stricter control over your release management process.
