npm-name: Check if a specific package name is available in the npm registry.
$ npm-name ${package}
try on your machine
The command "npm-name" is a tool used in Node Package Manager (NPM) that checks the availability of a specific package name on the NPM registry.
When you execute the command "npm-name ${package}", you are using the npm-name tool to check whether the specified ${package} name is already taken by another package in the NPM registry or if it is available for you to use for your own package.
For example, if you run the command "npm-name my-package", it will check if the package name "my-package" is already taken or available. If it is already taken, it will output a message indicating that the name is already in use. Otherwise, if the package name is available, it will display a message indicating that the name is available for you to use.
