/// note | Subject to change The standards described in this document are for the first release of the community nodes repository. These may change in future releases. /// Community nodes are npm packages, hosted in the npm registry.

When building a node to submit to the community node repository, use the following resources to make sure your node setup is correct:

• View the starter node{:target=_blank .external-link} and n8n's own nodes{:target=_blank .external-link} for some examples.
• Refer to the documentation on building your own nodes.
• Make sure your node follows the standards for community nodes.

Standards

To make your node available to the n8n community node repository, you must:

• Make sure the package name starts with n8n-nodes- or @<scope>/n8n-nodes-. For example, n8n-nodes-weather or @weatherPlugins/n8n-nodes-weather.
• Include n8n-community-node-package in your package keywords.
• Make sure that you add your nodes and credentials to the package.json file inside the n8n attribute. Refer to the package.json in the starter node{:target=_blank .external-link} for an example.
• Check your node using the linter and test it locally to ensure it works.
• Submit the package to the npm registry. Refer to npm's documentation on Contributing packages to the registry{:target=_blank .external-link} for more information.
