There is a unit test to prevent it packageLockFile.spec.ts
.
package.json
"angular-typesafe-reactive-forms-helper": "file:../../angular-typesafe-reactive-forms-helper.tgz",
package-lock.json
"angular-typesafe-reactive-forms-helper": {
"version": "file:../../angular-typesafe-reactive-forms-helper.tgz",
"integrity": "sha512-BL+vRHNhc7YiUcDPHW65DJ36V3U5PPuQebXpOoGMUA5D2hdVIn3x6vHf8d7hDpie3aSfqfYtPu9NstaopI+22g=="
},
don't commit as it will break the build with some error like this:
npm ERR! code EINTEGRITY

npm pack
will create angular-typesafe-reactive-forms-helper-1.0.0.tgz
~/workspace/some-application$
npm install ~/angular-typesafe-reactive-forms-helper-0.0.0.tgz
This is only if you don't want to go to public npm registry or for testing before you publish.
Kudos to Carl-Johan Kihl as I followed these suggestions - step-by-step-building-and-publishing-an-npm-typescript-package.
