Automatic publishing to package managers

[EncodedVenom]

Describe your Feature

This issue is about the addition of CI scripts that would automate publishing to supported platforms on release (wally, npm, pesde, etc). While we already have a wally CI script for this, we do not have such a script for npm or pesde.

Implementation

This would be implemented using the release CI script.

Alternatives

Publishing manually. This is relatively infeasible at scale for fairly obvious reasons.

Considerations

Successful implementation of this issue would resolve the problem of having to manually publish to all providers for the package.

Tasks

The following tasks need to be done for this issue to be complete:

@Ukendio specific:

• Expose an NPM_AUTH_TOKEN secret for the runner to use in accordance with this

Non-specific:

• (Pesde) add manifest info
• (Pesde) implement CI script
• (npm) implement CI script

Steps to get the pesde token on Windows:

1. Install pesde
2. pesde auth login
   Then due to Windows not allowing users to get tokens from the credential manager, you need to create a rust app to get the token.
3. cargo create get-pesde-token
4. cd get-pesde-token
5. cargo add keyring -F windows-native

use keyring::{Entry, Result};
 
fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let entry = Entry::new("tokens", "pesde")?;
    let password = entry.get_password()?;
    println!("Password: {}", password);
    Ok(())
}

7. cargo run
   Make sure to copy the entire token including Bearer.

Created #155 to add pesde support

With pesde support being cancelled and the npm support now live, this is now a successfully closed issue.
