npm-unpack

Easilly pack and unpack your npm modules to see what files are being included when you npm publish

Usage

cd /path/to/npm/module
npx npm-unpack

You'll see something like this:

Packing your-module-name@x.y.z...

Number of files: 6

package.json
lib/foo.js
lib/bar.js
lib/baz.js
test/file/that/should/not/be/included.js
bin/your-module.js

If you have a file that shouldn't be included (such as the test file above), just add it to your .npmignore file and re-run npm-unpack

# .npmignore
test/*

Re-run npm-unpack to verify:

npx npm-unpack

And see that now only our source files are included!

Packing your-module-name@x.y.z...

Number of files: 5

package.json
lib/foo.js
lib/bar.js
lib/baz.js
bin/your-module.js
