What is purpose of the property "private" in package.json?
I'm learning node.js and express, I am wondering what is the property "private" in ./package.json file used for?
Solution 1:
From the NPM docs on package.json
:
private
If you set
"private": true
in your package.json, then npm will refuse to publish it.This is a way to prevent accidental publication of private repositories.
