How to link a package before sending it to npm repository?

This command will be link you node_modules package locally to your other project. Here I'm using @alexbrochu/proto-lib from my local environment

npm link @package/name

Once tested you can use this command to bump the npm version and publis to npm repository

You have to login to npm before publishing

npm login

npm version [major-minor]
npm publish --access public # this will publish your package so it's available to everyone

Generate proto.pb.go

To generate the proto pb source, you need to have this dependency install see

go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest

protoc -I. -Ivendors --go_out=vendors  lib/constant.proto
