npmrc(5) -- The npm config files
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment
|
|
variables, and `npmrc` files.
|
|
|
|
The `npm config` command can be used to update and edit the contents
|
|
of the user and global npmrc files.
|
|
|
|
For a list of available configuration options, see npm-config(7).
|
|
|
|
## FILES
|
|
|
|
The four relevant files are:
|
|
|
|
* per-project config file (/path/to/my/project/.npmrc)
|
|
* per-user config file (~/.npmrc)
|
|
* global config file ($PREFIX/etc/npmrc)
|
|
* npm builtin config file (/path/to/npm/npmrc)
|
|
|
|
All npm config files are an ini-formatted list of `key = value`
|
|
parameters. Environment variables can be replaced using
|
|
`${VARIABLE_NAME}`. For example:
|
|
|
|
prefix = ${HOME}/.npm-packages
|
|
|
|
Each of these files is loaded, and config options are resolved in
|
|
priority order. For example, a setting in the userconfig file would
|
|
override the setting in the globalconfig file.
|
|
|
|
Array values are specified by adding "[]" after the key name. For
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
key[] = "first value"
|
|
key[] = "second value"
|
|
|
|
#### Comments
|
|
|
|
Lines in `.npmrc` files are interpreted as comments when they begin with a `;` or `#` character. `.npmrc` files are parsed by [npm/ini](https://github.com/npm/ini), which specifies this comment syntax.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
# last modified: 01 Jan 2016
|
|
; Set a new registry for a scoped package
|
|
@myscope:registry=https://mycustomregistry.example.org
|
|
|
|
### Per-project config file
|
|
|
|
When working locally in a project, a `.npmrc` file in the root of the
|
|
project (ie, a sibling of `node_modules` and `package.json`) will set
|
|
config values specific to this project.
|
|
|
|
Note that this only applies to the root of the project that you're
|
|
running npm in. It has no effect when your module is published. For
|
|
example, you can't publish a module that forces itself to install
|
|
globally, or in a different location.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, this file is not read in global mode, such as when running
|
|
`npm install -g`.
|
|
|
|
### Per-user config file
|
|
|
|
`$HOME/.npmrc` (or the `userconfig` param, if set in the environment
|
|
or on the command line)
|
|
|
|
### Global config file
|
|
|
|
`$PREFIX/etc/npmrc` (or the `globalconfig` param, if set above):
|
|
This file is an ini-file formatted list of `key = value` parameters.
|
|
Environment variables can be replaced as above.
|
|
|
|
### Built-in config file
|
|
|
|
`path/to/npm/itself/npmrc`
|
|
|
|
This is an unchangeable "builtin" configuration file that npm keeps
|
|
consistent across updates. Set fields in here using the `./configure`
|
|
script that comes with npm. This is primarily for distribution
|
|
maintainers to override default configs in a standard and consistent
|
|
manner.
