As an npm user or organization member, you can create and publish public packages that anyone can download and use in their own projects.
- Unscoped public packages exist in the global public registry namespace and can be referenced in a
package.json
file with the package name alone:package-name
. - Scoped public packages belong to a user or organization and must be preceded by the user or organization name when included as a dependency in a
package.json
file:@username/package-name
@org-name/package-name
