"validate-npm-package-name" is a dynamic npm package that can scrutinize any given string and tell if it's a valid npm package name. It's a piece of code that incorporates a set of rules to validate the given string against typical npm package naming rules. The package exports a synchronous function that takes a string as input and returns an object with two properties: 'validForNewPackages' and 'validForOldPackages'. It becomes quite handy especially for those dealing with new npm package creations as it helps to avoid errors due to invalid package names.

var result = validate("your-package-name");
console.log(result);
In this example, "your-package-name" is the name you want to validate. The function will return an object with the validity status for new packages as well as old ones.
