Publishing to NPM

• Verify package name is unique in package.json
• Specify the ["files"] field as an array of files and folders to deploy, typically a post-build "dist" folder or similar
• Split ["dependencies"] and ["devDependencies]
  • eg. move typescript and @types/ into ["devDependencies]
• Specify the ["publishConfig"]["access"] field as "public" or "private"
• Configure the ["bin"] field for the CLI to be used
  • eg. "bin": "dist/index.js" and insert the bin disclaimer in the CLI file (#!/usr/bin/env node)
• Specify ["scripts"]["prepublishOnly"] field as the script to be ran before publishing, typically to build the project
• Commit to git if desired, and ensure that .gitignore is configured
• Finally, run npm publish
