Let's talk about how to use npm to install Github modules

With the popularity and use of Github, more and more people are beginning to use it for project management and collaborative development. NPM (Node Package Manager) is an extremely popular JavaScript package manager that allows us to easily share and organize our code. Therefore, using Github and NPM together can bring more convenience and customizability to our project library.

If you want to turn your Github code base into a package for reuse in other projects, it is highly recommended that you use NPM. Because NPM is currently one of the most popular JavaScript package managers, it is easy to convert code libraries on Github into modules and publish them on NPM.

This article will introduce how to install Github modules on NPM. Please follow the steps below:

Step 1: Create and publish your code base on Github

Create a new code base in your Github personal account and then add your Code is pushed into this library.

Step 2: Run npm init in the command line

Enter the command line and enter the "npm init" command in the command line. This will launch a wizard that will guide you through the process of creating a Node.js project. You need to enter information such as your project's name, description, and version. Once you complete filling in this information, a package.json file will be automatically generated containing all the information for the project.

Step 3: Add the Github link to the package.json file

Find the "dependencies" field in the package.json file and add your Github code base link to it.

{
  "name": "npm-github-install-examples",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Demonstrates installing GitHub repos as NPM packages.",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
      "github-org/repo-name": "1.0.0"
  }
}

Here I added a Github repository link named "github-org/repo-name" with version "1.0.0".

Step 4: Run npm install

Enter the "npm install" command on the command line to install this Github code repository. This will install a module named "github-org/repo-name" in your project.

npm install

Now you can use this code base!

Summary:

We have introduced in detail how to convert the Github code repository into a module and introduced how to install this module on NPM. In today's JavaScript world, Github has become an important platform for developers to share and collaborate on development, and NPM allows us to share and organize our code more conveniently. So, using these two tools together will bring us more convenience and customizability.
