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.

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": {
		"prepublish": "safe-publish-latest"
	}
}

Example package.json excerpt with another prepublish command:

{
	"scripts": {
		"prepublish": "safe-publish-latest && npm run build"
	}
}
