<div id="_content"><h3 id="description">Description</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>npm gets its configuration values from the following sources, sorted by priority:</p>
|
||
|
|
<h4 id="command-line-flags">Command Line Flags</h4>
|
||
|
|
<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>
|
||
|
|
<h4 id="environment-variables">Environment Variables</h4>
|
||
|
|
<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="../using-npm/scripts.html"><code>scripts</code></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>
|
||
|
|
<h4 id="npmrc-files">npmrc Files</h4>
|
||
|
|
<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="../configuring-npm/npmrc.html">npmrc</a> for more details.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h4 id="default-configs">Default Configs</h4>
|
||
|
|
<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>
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="shorthands-and-other-cli-niceties">Shorthands and Other CLI Niceties</h3>
|
||
|

<p>The following shorthands are parsed on the command-line:</p>

<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 lang="bash"><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 lang="bash"><code>npm ls -gpld
|
||
|
|
# same as:
|
||
|
|
npm ls --global --parseable --long --loglevel info
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>

|

|
|
<p>Warning: This should generally not be set via a command-line option. It is

safer to use a registry-provided authentication bearer token stored in the

~/.npmrc file by running <code>npm login</code>.</p>

<h4 id="access"><code>access</code></h4>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Default: 'restricted' for scoped packages, 'public' for unscoped packages</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Type: null, "restricted", or "public"</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>When publishing scoped packages, the access level defaults to <code>restricted</code>.
|
||
|
|
If you want your scoped package to be publicly viewable (and installable)
|
||
|
|
set <code>--access=public</code>. The only valid values for <code>access</code> are <code>public</code> and
|
||
|
|
<code>restricted</code>. Unscoped packages <em>always</em> have an access level of <code>public</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Note: Using the <code>--access</code> flag on the <code>npm publish</code> command will only set
|
||
|
|
the package access level on the initial publish of the package. Any
|
||
|
|
subsequent <code>npm publish</code> commands using the <code>--access</code> flag will not have an
|
||
|
|
effect to the access level. To make changes to the access level after the
|
||
|
|
initial publish use <code>npm access</code>.</p>

<p>1: The lockfile version used by npm versions 5 and 6. Lacks some data that
|
||
|
|
is used during the install, resulting in slower and possibly less
|
||
|
|
deterministic installs. Prevents lockfile churn when interoperating with
|
||
|
|
older npm versions.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>2: The default lockfile version used by npm version 7. Includes both the
|
||
|
|
version 1 lockfile data and version 3 lockfile data, for maximum determinism
|
||
|
|
and interoperability, at the expense of more bytes on disk.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>3: Only the new lockfile information introduced in npm version 7. Smaller on
|
||
|
|
disk than lockfile version 2, but not interoperable with older npm versions.
|
||
|
|
Ideal if all users are on npm version 7 and higher.</p>

<p>The "umask" value to use when setting the file creation mode on files and

<p>Folders and executables are given a mode which is <code>0o777</code> masked against

this value. Other files are given a mode which is <code>0o666</code> masked against

this value.</p>
|

<p>Note that the underlying system will <em>also</em> apply its own umask value to

files and folders that are created, and npm does not circumvent this, but
|

|
|
rather adds the <code>--umask</code> config to it.</p>
|

<p>Thus, the effective default umask value on most POSIX systems is 0o22,

meaning that folders and executables are created with a mode of 0o755 and

other files are created with a mode of 0o644.</p>
