Add "files" entry in package.json or .npmignore

Some files aren't needed when using the package as a dependency. It'd be great if you specify what are those files (.npmignore) or what are the files that are needed ("files" property in package.json). See https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/developers#keeping-files-out-of-your-package

I've added the tests to the ignore-file now. I think the README should be in the directory for local reference (through node_modules)

I think it's easier to specify the files you actually want to include in the "files" property. The README file is never ignored by npm:

The following paths and files are never ignored, so adding them to .npmignore is pointless:
package.json
README.*

I'd agree with you in some cases, but in this case I think explicitly setting what files that should be included would be longer than the ignore list. And I'd also rather have some extra files than forget to add the a file to the include list and break a publish.

In this case I suppose you only need:

package.json

{
  ...
  "files": [
    "bin",
    "lib",
    "index.js"
  ]
}
