Hello Readers,

As React developers, you've probably worked on many projects to improve and showcase your skills in creating dynamic websites. During these projects, you've likely used lots of different packages called npm packages. npm is the world's largest software registry. Open-source developers from every continent use npm to share and borrow packages. To learn more about npm, visit here

In this article, I'll talk about why I decided to publish a package on the npm registry. Let's get started.

NPM packages speed up development and enhance project features. You might create custom parts or tweak existing packages to fit your needs.

I had a similar experience while working on a React project that needed a specific component - a toggle switch. Though there were many toggle switch libraries on npm, I chose to create one tailored to my project's needs instead of using existing solutions.

After successfully implementing the toggle switch in my project, I realized its usefulness for other projects too. Rather than starting from scratch again, I decided to share it with the React community by publishing it as an npm package. I used rollup, a JavaScript module bundler, to package and distribute the component code on the npm registry.

Sharing my component as an open-source npm package not only benefited other React developers but also streamlined future projects for me. It reinforced the importance of contributing to the open-source community and empowered me to make a meaningful impact in the React ecosystem.

Hopefully you liked the article,you can check the react toggle switch package here.

Thank you.
