Publishing to NPM (PREFERRED METHOD)

A GitHub workflow has been setup to automatically publish a new package version to the NPM registry on the push of a new tag. This should be used as the preferred method of release a new package.

1. Update/increase the package version in package.json (see https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-version for further details on this npm command):

    npm version <major|minor|patch> -no-git-tag-version
   

2. Commit and push this to GitHub:

    git add package.json
    git commit -m "..." package.json
    git push <remote> <branch>
   

3. Create a new tag and push to GitHub

    git tag -a vX.XX.xx -m "..."
    git push <remote> vX.XX.xx 
   

This will trigger a job on GitHub to publish a new version of the cs-web-lib to NPM. Check that this job passes.
