Steps to publish a npm package to beta that won't be available via latest and won't auto install on ncu updates etc

  1. Ensure any compile is run npm run dist etc
  2. Modify version in package.json to the following format (match with existing verion numbers etc) "version": "0.1.120-beta.1" where beta.x is the number of those betas
  3. Publish to npm npm publish --tag beta

There are two options for install:

  • Always install beta with npm install packagename@beta
  • Install specific version with npm install package@0.1.120-beta.1

How to fix latest if you publish a beta without --tag beta (if will default to latest) run: npm dist-tags add @COMPANY/PACKAGE@1.0.3 latest --otp=123456where 1.0.3 is the version that should be latest --otp= is required
