Should I update the npm package version on minor changes?

Question

npm

I created npm package version 1.0.0
After that, I made several commits with minor minor edits on the design:
- in the readme file
- documentation (JSDoc) in the js file
Do I need to update the npm package version after that? What are the general rules for this?

Answer 1

You can't publish changes outside of the new version - npm just won't let you.
Minor changes that do not break backward compatibility change the third number in the version, that is, you should have 1.0.1. And the general rules are googled according to the words semantic versioning.
