not-prerelease

Detect if the current npm version call is a prerelease or not. That way the version lifecycle script can do things selectively in actual releases vs prereleases, such as update a changelog with conventional-changelog

Installation

$ npm install --save-dev not-prerelease

Then edit your package.json to have:

  "scripts": {
    "version": "not-prerelease && thing-i-dont-want-to-do-on-prerelease || is-prerelease"
  }

Now when you run:

$ npm version <major|minor|patch|prerelease>

Then thing-I-dont-want-on-prerelease won't be run during a prerelease but, will be run done during a major, minor, or patch releases.

Other information

This package exports two binaries both of which default to looking at the version of package.json in the current directory, but they can also be passed one argument, a version to check.

• not-prerelease
  • If the version in package.json or that was passed is a prerelease it will exit 1 (failure) otherwise it will exit 0.
• is-prerelease
  • If the version in package.json or that was passed is a prerelease it will exit 0 (success) otherwise it will exit 1.
