NPM pack and unpack in 2 seconds

⭐️ Super short note on NPM pack ⭐️

I needed a quick way to check what files were included in my NPM package bundle and wanted to locally “zip” and “unzip” my NPM Package. This is how you can achieve it 👇

// create a packed tgz file
$ npm pack;
// will unzip the file and install it in a folder called package
$ tar -xzf <path to tgz file>

That’s all for today folks.
