At first we will be creating a file named index.js. The contents of the file is shown below where we are reading a .csv file and then returning a callback with all the information of that pincode. Now to make the function searchByPin to be available to other files we have to export the function using exports.functionName.
var fs = require('fs');
var csv = require('fast-csv');
var result = [];
exports.seachByPin = function (pin, callback) {
if (pin.length < 6 || pin.length > 6)
return callback("Invalid PinCode");
var csvStream = csv.fromPath("pinCode.csv").on("data", function (data) {
if (data[1] === pin) {
result.push({
PinCode : data[1],
OfficeName : data[0],
DivisionName : data[4],
RigionName : data[5],
Taluk : data[7],
DistrictName : data[8],
StateName : data[9]
});
}
}).on("end", function () {
return callback(result);
});
}

Package.json
{
"name": "pincode",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Node module to easily loopkup Indian PinCode Information",

"main": "index.js",
"dependencies": {
"fast-csv": "0.6.0"
},
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "https://github.com/codingdefined/pincode.git"

}
After having all the files you have to publish the package. To publish the package just run npm publish command. After successfully pulishing you can check your package on npm. If your package is live then its successfully published. Our pincode package can be found at https://www.npmjs.com/package/pincode.If you are getting warning NodeJS - npm WARN package.json : No repository field while installing your npm package then refer How to Solve No repository field Warning in Node.js.
