This is the easiest and fastest way I know to create and publish a package to NPM. In this video we will publish a simple react component to NPM using tsdx, typescript and storybook.
We will also see how versions work and how to use “npm version”.
At the end of the video we will consume our new published package from a new create-react-app project using typescript.
