Add GitHub Actions workflow to auto-publish to npm on release#26
Merged
Conversation
Triggers when a GitHub Release is published. Runs tests first, then publishes to npm using the NPM_TOKEN repository secret. Validates the version isn't already published before attempting. To enable: add an npm Automation token as a repository secret named NPM_TOKEN. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Allows the workflow to be run manually from the Actions tab without needing to create a GitHub Release first. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Secret added and ready for merge. I will proceed but I think it would be ideal to switch to GitVersion and avoid manual package version changes. Then we can just push on each merge to main. We can also auto tag based on the gitversion generated. |
