Creating and publishing an organization scoped package

As an organization member, you can create and publish public and private packages within the organization's scope.

Creating an organization scoped package

  1. On the command line, make a directory with the name of the package you would like to create.

    mkdir /path/to/package/directory
  2. Navigate to the newly-created package directory.

  3. To create an organization scoped package, on the command line, run:

    npm init --scope=<your_org_name>
  4. To verify the package is using your organization scope, in a text editor, open the package's package.json file and check that the name is @your_org_name/<pkg_name>, replacing your_org_name with the name of your organization.

Publishing a private organization scoped package

By default, npm publish will publish a scoped package as private.

By default, any scoped package is published as private. However, if you have an organization that does not have the Private Packages feature, npm publish will fail unless you pass the access flag.

  1. On the command line, navigate to the package directory.

  2. Run npm publish.

Private packages will say private below the package name on the npm website.

Publishing a public organization scoped package

To publish an organization scoped package as public, use npm publish --access public.

  1. On the command line, navigate to the package directory.

  2. Run npm publish --access public.

Public packages will say public below the package name on the npm website.
