Prevent accidental publishing of incomplete or work-in-progress npm packages with in-publish. This simple utility throws an error if you attempt to publish without setting the NODE_ENV environment variable to production. It is a crucial pre-publication check. Integrate it into your prepublishOnly script in package.json to ensure proper environment configuration before publishing, thus safeguarding against unintended releases. This avoids broken or incomplete packages going live.
