Packito is a cli tool to clean package before publishing it.

Purpose

Before publishing to npm, did you take care of your package.json ?

  • devDependencies, some scripts and other entries("husky", ...) could be removed.
  • add some new or change entries, like "main" source file name
  • use a dist file and copy some extra files/directories in it (README.md, LICENSE, ...).
  • and finally publish your package using npm, np or lerna.

Simple using one command:

$ packito

By default it will remove "scripts" and "devDependencies", copy README.md and LICENSE if they exist to './dist' folder.

Install

$ yarn add --dev packito

Or using npm

$ npm add --dev packito
