<h1><a href="../misc/npm-config.html">npm-config</a></h1> <p>More than you probably want to know about npm configuration</p>
|
|
<h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
|
|
<p>npm gets its configuration values from the following sources, sorted by 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. Using <code>--flag</code> without specifying any value will set
|
|
the value to <code>true</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>Example: <code>--flag1 --flag2</code> will set both configuration parameters
|
|
to <code>true</code>, while <code>--flag1 --flag2 bar</code> will set <code>flag1</code> to <code>true</code>,
|
|
and <code>flag2</code> to <code>bar</code>. Finally, <code>--flag1 --flag2 -- bar</code> will set
|
|
both configuration parameters to <code>true</code>, and the <code>bar</code> is taken
|
|
as a command argument.</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. However, please note that inside <a href="/misc/scripts">npm-scripts</a>
|
|
npm will set its own environment variables and Node will prefer
|
|
those lowercase versions over any uppercase ones that you might set.
|
|
For details see <a href="https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/14528">this issue</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Notice that you need to use underscores instead of dashes, so <code>--allow-same-version</code>
|
|
would become <code>npm_config_allow_same_version=true</code>.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="npmrc-files">npmrc Files</h3>
|
|
<p>The four relevant files are:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>per-project configuration file (<code>/path/to/my/project/.npmrc</code>)</li>
|
|
<li>per-user configuration file (defaults to <code>$HOME/.npmrc</code>; configurable via CLI
|
|
option <code>--userconfig</code> or environment variable <code>$NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG</code>)</li>
|
|
<li>global configuration file (defaults to <code>$PREFIX/etc/npmrc</code>; configurable via
|
|
CLI option <code>--globalconfig</code> or environment variable <code>$NPM_CONFIG_GLOBALCONFIG</code>)</li>
|
|
<li>npm's built-in configuration file (<code>/path/to/npm/npmrc</code>)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>See <a href="../files/npmrc.html">npmrc(5)</a> for more details.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="default-configs">Default Configs</h3>
|
|
<p>Run <code>npm config ls -l</code> to see a set of configuration parameters that are
|
|
internal to npm, and are defaults if nothing else is specified.</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>-q</code>, <code>--quiet</code>: <code>--loglevel warn</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>-C</code>: <code>--prefix</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>-f</code>: <code>--force</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>-desc</code>: <code>--description</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>-S</code>: <code>--save</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>-P</code>: <code>--save-prod</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>-D</code>: <code>--save-dev</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>-O</code>: <code>--save-optional</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>-B</code>: <code>--save-bundle</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>-E</code>: <code>--save-exact</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="../misc/npm-scripts.html">npm-scripts(7)</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><p>See <a href="../files/package.json.html">package.json(5)</a> for more information.</p>

|
|
<p>A client certificate to pass when accessing the registry. Values should be in

|
disabled when the environment variable <code>NO_COLOR</code> is set to any value.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="depth">depth</h3>

<code>npm cache ls</code>, and <code>npm outdated</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>For <code>npm outdated</code>, a setting of <code>Infinity</code> will be treated as <code>0</code>
|
|
since that gives more useful information. To show the outdated status
|
|
of all packages and dependents, use a large integer value,

|
<p>Indicates that you don't want npm to make any changes and that it should
|
|
only report what it would have done. This can be passed into any of the
|
|
commands that modify your local installation, eg, <code>install</code>, <code>update</code>,
|
|
<code>dedupe</code>, <code>uninstall</code>. This is NOT currently honored by some network related
|
|
commands, eg <code>dist-tags</code>, <code>owner</code>, etc.</p>

|
|
<ul>
|

|
<p>If set to <code>true</code>, add the directory in which the current <code>node</code> executable
|
|
resides to the <code>PATH</code> environment variable when running scripts,
|
|
even if that means that <code>npm</code> will invoke a different <code>node</code> executable than
|
|
the one which it is running.</p>
|
|
<p>If set to <code>false</code>, never modify <code>PATH</code> with that.</p>
|
|
<p>If set to <code>"warn-only"</code>, never modify <code>PATH</code> but print a warning if <code>npm</code> thinks
|
|
that you may want to run it with <code>true</code>, e.g. because the <code>node</code> executable
|
|
in the <code>PATH</code> is not the one <code>npm</code> was invoked with.</p>
|
|
<p>If set to <code>auto</code>, only add that directory to the <code>PATH</code> environment variable
|
|
if the <code>node</code> executable with which <code>npm</code> was invoked and the one that is found
|
|
first on the <code>PATH</code> are different.</p>

|
|
version increment using <code>npm-version</code>. To remove the prefix altogether, set it
|
|
to the empty string: <code>""</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>Because other tools may rely on the convention that npm version tags look like
|
|
<code>v1.0.0</code>, <em>only use this property if it is absolutely necessary</em>. In
|
|
particular, use care when overriding this setting for public packages.</p>
