Hi Matthias,

Good question! Here are the necessary steps to transform an AX-library into an npm package on Github.

• Ensure that the project you are working on in SIMATIC AX is of type lib:

type : lib

• On GitHub's side, you need to create a token to manage packages on https://npm.pkg.github.com. Here are the instructions to follow: https://github.com/simatic-ax/.github/blob/main/docs/personalaccesstoken.md

• In the SIMATIC AX project, add your registry to the apax.yml file:

registries:
"@<accountname>": 'https://npm.pkg.github.com'

• Add the same account name before the library name in the apax.yml file:

name: "@<accountname>/example-library-name"

• Choose which files should be shipped with the library in the apax.yml file:

#Files, which will be shipped with the library
files:
- bin #to ship compiled files
- src #to ship source files

• Run the following commands:

apax build
apax pack

• Execute the apax login command and use the arrows to move to Custom NPM registries from apax.yml and catalogs and press enter. Leave the username field empty and press enter; in the password or token field, enter the previously created GitHub token.

• Run the following command:

apax publish --package <name-of-the-generated-filex.x.x.apax.tgz> --registry https://npm.pkg.github.com

• Go to your GitHub account, profile picture in the top right --> Your repositories --> Packages tab. Verify that the package has been published; change its visibility from Private to Public in Package settings.

The library is now available as a package! If you want to use this package in a new project:

• Add your registry to the apax.yml file:

registries:
'@<accountname>': 'https://npm.pkg.github.com'

• Login to GitHub using the apax login command. Important: for correct GitHub login, you need to enter the previously created token!

• Add the package running the command:

apax add @<username>/<libraryname>

I hope you find this useful! If you need any clarification, I'm here to help!

Greetings,

Benedetta
