Update version and publish npm from GH

Setting up CI with GitHub Actions to update a node.js package version from GitHub release tag and publish it to npm

Last updated 3 years ago

Super proud of this, since it's my first node.js package ever (created brand-new account on and all 😁), for doing for that works in .

Assuming you already have a package.json in the root repo dir, add the .github\workflows\npm.yml as follows:

name: publish

on:
  release:
    types: [created]

jobs:
  publish-npm:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v1
        with:
          node-version: 12
          registry-url: https://registry.npmjs.org/
      - name: Set version from tag
        run: npm --no-git-tag-version version ${GITHUB_REF#refs/*/}
      - run: npm publish
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{secrets.npm_token}}
  1. I'm running only on release creation

Using the GitHub envvar for the , I'm but opting out of the git behavior (which fails on CI because it's a detached head at that point)

Finally you'll need to create that secret in for the publish step.
