I see some modules and packages publishing to npm using a scoped package if your project is a public project: e.g. @angular

Are there advantages to publishing to a scoped package? What's the purpose of publishing to a scoped package?

According to the NPM blog:

With 141,898 modules on npm, it has been getting hard to find a name that isn’t taken.

Scopes are like namespaces for npm packages This means that you don’t have to worry about someone else taking your package name. Only you can add packages in your scope.
