Overview

This node operation performs an HTTP PUT request to update an NPM package in a specific GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for automating package management tasks within GitLab projects, such as updating package metadata or content programmatically. For example, a developer can use this node to update an NPM package version or details directly from an automation workflow without manual intervention.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating an NPM package in a GitLab project by specifying the project ID and package name along with the updated package data in the request body.
  2. Automating package version updates in CI/CD pipelines by integrating this node to push changes to GitLab package registry.
