|
|
|
<p>npm gets its configuration values from 6 sources, in this priority:</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="Command-Line-Flags">Command Line Flags</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Putting <code>--foo bar</code> on the command line sets the
|
|
<code>foo</code> configuration parameter to <code>"bar"</code>. A <code>--</code> argument tells the cli
|
|
parser to stop reading flags. A <code>--flag</code> parameter that is at the <em>end</em> of
|
|
the command will be given the value of <code>true</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="Environment-Variables">Environment Variables</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Any environment variables that start with <code>npm_config_</code> will be interpreted
|
|
as a configuration parameter. For example, putting <code>npm_config_foo=bar</code> in
|
|
your environment will set the <code>foo</code> configuration parameter to <code>bar</code>. Any
|
|
environment configurations that are not given a value will be given the value
|
|
of <code>true</code>. Config values are case-insensitive, so <code>NPM_CONFIG_FOO=bar</code> will
|
|
work the same.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="Per-user-config-file">Per-user config file</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><code>$HOME/.npmrc</code> (or the <code>userconfig</code> param, if set above)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This file is an ini-file formatted list of <code>key = value</code> parameters.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="Global-config-file">Global config file</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><code>$PREFIX/etc/npmrc</code> (or the <code>globalconfig</code> param, if set above):
|
|
This file is an ini-file formatted list of <code>key = value</code> parameters</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="Built-in-config-file">Built-in config file</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><code>path/to/npm/itself/npmrc</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is an unchangeable "builtin"
|
|
configuration file that npm keeps consistent across updates. Set
|
|
fields in here using the <code>./configure</code> script that comes with npm.
|
|
This is primarily for distribution maintainers to override default
|
|
configs in a standard and consistent manner.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="Default-Configs">Default Configs</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A set of configuration parameters that are internal to npm, and are
|
|
defaults if nothing else is specified.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="Sub-commands">Sub-commands</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Config supports the following sub-commands:</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="set">set</h3>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>npm config set key value</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Sets the config key to the value.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If value is omitted, then it sets it to "true".</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="get">get</h3>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>npm config get key</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Echo the config value to stdout.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="list">list</h3>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>npm config list</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Show all the config settings.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="delete">delete</h3>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>npm config delete key</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Deletes the key from all configuration files.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="edit">edit</h3>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>npm config edit</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Opens the config file in an editor. Use the <code>--global</code> flag to edit the
|
|
global config.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="Shorthands-and-Other-CLI-Niceties">Shorthands and Other CLI Niceties</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following shorthands are parsed on the command-line:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li><code>-v</code>: <code>--version</code></li><li><code>-h</code>, <code>-?</code>, <code>--help</code>, <code>-H</code>: <code>--usage</code></li><li><code>-s</code>, <code>--silent</code>: <code>--loglevel silent</code></li><li><code>-d</code>: <code>--loglevel info</code></li><li><code>-dd</code>, <code>--verbose</code>: <code>--loglevel verbose</code></li><li><code>-ddd</code>: <code>--loglevel silly</code></li><li><code>-g</code>: <code>--global</code></li><li><code>-l</code>: <code>--long</code></li><li><code>-m</code>: <code>--message</code></li><li><code>-p</code>, <code>--porcelain</code>: <code>--parseable</code></li><li><code>-reg</code>: <code>--registry</code></li><li><code>-v</code>: <code>--version</code></li><li><code>-f</code>: <code>--force</code></li><li><code>-l</code>: <code>--long</code></li><li><code>-desc</code>: <code>--description</code></li><li><code>-S</code>: <code>--save</code></li><li><code>-y</code>: <code>--yes</code></li><li><code>-n</code>: <code>--yes false</code></li><li><code>ll</code> and <code>la</code> commands: <code>ls --long</code></li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the specified configuration param resolves unambiguously to a known
|
|
configuration parameter, then it is expanded to that configuration
|
|
parameter. For example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>npm ls --par
|
|
# same as:
|
|
npm ls --parseable</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>If multiple single-character shorthands are strung together, and the
|
|
resulting combination is unambiguously not some other configuration
|
|
param, then it is expanded to its various component pieces. For
|
|
example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>npm ls -gpld
|
|
# same as:
|
|
npm ls --global --parseable --long --loglevel info</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="Per-Package-Config-Settings">Per-Package Config Settings</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>When running scripts (see <code><a href="../doc/scripts.html">scripts(1)</a></code>)
|
|
the package.json "config" keys are overwritten in the environment if
|
|
there is a config param of <code><name>[@<version>]:<key></code>. For example, if
|
|
the package.json has this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>{ "name" : "foo"
|
|
, "config" : { "port" : "8080" }
|
|
, "scripts" : { "start" : "node server.js" } }</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>and the server.js is this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>http.createServer(...).listen(process.env.npm_package_config_port)</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>then the user could change the behavior by doing:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>npm config set foo:port 80</code></pre>
|

|
<h3 id="always-auth">always-auth</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>Default: false</li><li>Type: Boolean</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Force npm to always require authentication when accessing the registry,
|
|
even for <code>GET</code> requests.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="bin-publish">bin-publish</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>Default: false</li><li>Type: Boolean</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If set to true, then binary packages will be created on publish.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is the way to opt into the "bindist" behavior described below.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="bindist">bindist</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>Default: Unstable node versions, <code>null</code>, otherwise
|
|
<code>"<node version>-<platform>-<os release>"</code></li><li>Type: String or <code>null</code></li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Experimental: on stable versions of node, binary distributions will be
|
|
created with this tag. If a user then installs that package, and their
|
|
<code>bindist</code> tag is found in the list of binary distributions, they will
|
|
get that prebuilt version.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Pre-build node packages have their preinstall, install, and postinstall
|
|
scripts stripped (since they are run prior to publishing), and do not
|
|
have their <code>build</code> directories automatically ignored.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It's yet to be seen if this is a good idea.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="browser">browser</h3>

|
|
|
|
<p>The Certificate Authority signing certificate that is trusted for SSL
|
|
connections to the registry.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Set to <code>null</code> to only allow "known" registrars, or to a specific CA cert
|
|
to trust only that specific signing authority.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>See also the <code>strict-ssl</code> config.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="cache">cache</h3>
|
|
|

|
<ul><li>Default: true on Posix, false on Windows</li><li>Type: Boolean or <code>"always"</code></li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If false, never shows colors. If <code>"always"</code> then always shows colors.
|
|
If true, then only prints color codes for tty file descriptors.</p>

<code>npm cache ls</code>.</p>
