Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to update an NPM package within a specific project using the PUT HTTP method. It is useful for automating package management tasks in GitLab projects, such as updating package metadata or content programmatically. For example, it can be used in CI/CD pipelines to update NPM packages after a successful build.

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 details in the request body.
  2. Automating package version updates in GitLab projects as part of a deployment workflow.
