ForgeBox allows you to publish packages that only you can see and install. You'll be able to view your private package from the CLI, in the ForgeBox.io search, and in your ForgeBox.io profile, but these packages will now show up for any other users.
To create a private package, set the private
property to true
in your box.json
prior to publishing.
package init
package set private=true
package set slug=my-slug@forgeBoxUser
etc...
publish
Replace forgeBoxUser
with your actual ForgeBox username. When you install the package, you'll need to use the full slug like so:
install my-slug@forgeBoxUser
You can install specific versions or version ranges as you would expect:
install my-slug@[email protected]
install my-slug@forgeBoxUser@be
Private packages will be a paid feature for ForgeBox Pro subscribers, though the feature is currently available to all users for free.
