Updating your published package version number
Skip to content
When you make significant changes to a published package, we recommend updating the version number to communicate the extent of the changes to others who rely on your code.
Note: If you have linked a git repository to a package, updating the package version number will also add a tag with the updated release number to the linked git repository.
-
To change the version number in package.json, on the command line, in the package root directory, run the following command, replacing <update_type> with one of the semantic versioning release types (patch, major, or minor):
npm version <update_type>
Run npm publish.
Go to your package page (https://npmjs.com/package/<package>) to check that the package version has been updated.
For more information on npm version, see the CLI documentation.
