Publint is a tool designed to help developers ensure their npm packages are correctly configured for publication. It checks for common issues in package.json and other related files to ensure the package is ready for distribution.
Linting package.json
Publint can be run in the root directory of a project to lint the package.json file. It checks for common issues such as missing fields, incorrect field values, and other potential problems that could affect the package's distribution.
publint .Checking for best practices
By using the --strict flag, Publint can enforce best practices in addition to basic checks. This includes ensuring that fields like 'main', 'module', and 'types' are correctly set up for different module systems.
publint --strict .np is a package that streamlines the process of publishing a package to npm. It handles versioning, tagging, and publishing, ensuring that the package is ready for release. While np focuses on the release process, Publint focuses on ensuring the package configuration is correct before release.
semantic-release automates the versioning and package publishing process based on the commits in a repository. It ensures that the package is released with the correct version number and changelog. Unlike Publint, which checks for configuration issues, semantic-release automates the release process itself.
npm-package-json-lint is a tool specifically designed to lint package.json files. It provides a wide range of rules to enforce consistency and correctness in package.json files. While it overlaps with Publint in terms of checking package.json, it offers more extensive rule customization.
