Npm Publisher Support

A tool for managing Unity projects with multiple UnityPackageManager packages.

About

Splitting up large codebases into separate independently versioned packages is extremely useful for code sharing. However, making changes across many repositories is messy and difficult to track, and testing across repositories gets complicated really fast.

NPM Publisher Suport is a tool that optimizes the workflow around managing multi-package repositories.

Features

• Publish packages to any npm registry (like NpmJS or you own) directly from the Unity
• Fast switch between npm registries
• Track available updates for package dependencies:
  • From Unity built-in registry
  • From Scoped Package Registries
  • From Local project (it’s convenient if several packages are located in one project)
• Increment packages version from Unity
  • Patch Dependent option allow to automatically patch dependant packages version (If there are several packages in the project that depend on the current one)
• Samples~ and Documentation~ folders support:
  • Automatically copy contents of Samples folder to Samples~ (same for Documentation) before package publishing
• Publish modified packages command compares local package versions with specified remote registry that allow publish packages much faster

      Editor/
