Scope

A scope allows you to create a package with the same name as a package created by another user or organization without conflict.

When listed as a dependent in a package.json file, scoped packages are preceded by their scope name. The scope name is everything between the @ and the slash:

@skobba/package-name

Visibillity:

• Unscoped packages are always public.
• Private packages are always scoped.
• Scoped packages are private by default; you must pass a command-line flag when publishing to make them public.
