Description

We're looking at adopting Beachball, but in addition to our standard releases, we need nightly releases tagged as dev on NPM. Is there a way to use Beachball to publish do a dev tag on NPM where it adds a pre-release version based on date only, without updating the semver? e.g. 1.2.0-dev.20201021, 1.2.0-dev.20201022, 1.2.0-dev.20201023

Research direction

Start by reading Beachball's release and NPM publishing documentation and entry points to determine how prerelease versions and distribution tags are handled. Done means establishing whether date-based dev versions can be published without advancing the standard semver version, and documenting the required configuration or implementation scope.
