safe-publish-latest

Ensure that when you npm publish, the "latest" tag is only set for the truly latest version.

Usage

Add "safe-publish-latest" to your package.json's "prepublish" script, and install in-publish.

It will only activate during an actual npm publish - it will silently do nothing during installs, and will error when run directly.

Example package.json excerpt with no other prepublish commands:

{
    "scripts": {
        "prepublishOnly": "safe-publish-latest",
        "prepublish": "not-in-publish || npm run prepublishOnly"
    }
}

Example package.json excerpt with another prepublish command:

{
    "scripts": {
        "prepublishOnly": "safe-publish-latest && npm run build",
        "prepublish": "not-in-publish || npm run prepublishOnly"
    }
}

Tests

Simply clone the repo, npm install, and run npm test
