Publishing and Installing Private npm Packages with GitLab Package Registry
· 11 min read
Some background:
I've recently been building an npm package for our internal frontend team. One challenge was that I'd never developed an npm package before, so I was starting from scratch with the development environment, bundling, publishing, and maintenance. The company also didn't want to open-source the package or pay for npm Orgs' private package feature. Alongside learning how to build the package, I had to find a free way to host a private npm library that would work for us.
