npmignore provides utilities for working with .npmignore files, similar to .gitignore but for npm packages. It parses .npmignore files, determining which files should be excluded when publishing a package to npm. This package offers programmatic access for validating and manipulating these ignore rules, ensuring only intended files are included in your npm package distribution. Useful for build tools and package management utilities.
npmignore downloads show fluctuating interest. Numbers varied throughout 2024, peaking in December. 2025 saw ups and downs, with a significant surge in August. September's partial data suggests a lower download count so far, but the month is not yet complete.
The npm package npmignore has infrequent releases. Initial activity occurred in 2014-2015 with versions 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2 and 0.2.0. Releases then stopped for several years before a version 0.3.0 in May 2022 and a version 0.3.1 in November 2023. There have been no releases in 2024 or so far in 2025.
