fail to use forked dependency from npmjs

Question

I need to add a feature to get a list of grouped markers by the marker clusterer of this package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@agm/markerclusterer

Currently - there is no such ability and it seems that the repo is not updated for a long time.

I have forked the github repo from here:

https://github.com/SebastianM/angular-google-maps

Then I have made a commit of the required changes:

https://github.com/neverlose-lv/angular-google-maps/commit/eed277876549b58b41ee7d9515a47f07e5cb3115#diff-2cf0d0f0bfd8c7ff9b29a7feb0a963480b32b65116abe7a863115e63fb67c16fR78

And now - I am unable to use it.

Because, when I install the dependency via npm instll neverlose-lv/angular-google-maps command - the dependency is installed as the source code of the github repo, but to work - it should be the build files (dist/ directory I guess. The result of npm run build:prod) command.

I am unable to publish the repo via npm publish command. I get an error: npm ERR! Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim')

I have tried to make a build: npm install npm run build:prod

The build succeeded with some warnings. Then I commited the build files to another repo:

https://github.com/neverlose-lv/markerclusterer-dist

And when I try to use it (npm install neverlose-lv/markerclusterer-dist) - I get dependency errors, which are listed in the peerDependencies directive.

So far I did myself...

I would like to know how can I correctly for and use this package ?

The error npm ERR! Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim') when doing npm publish might be caused by missing or empty name property in the package.json. Add value to name and try again.
