npm-docs | 1 | Open documentation for a package in a web browser |
Synopsis
npm docs [<pkgname> [<pkgname> ...]]
aliases: home
Description
This command tries to guess at the likely location of a package's
documentation URL, and then tries to open it using the --browser
config
param. You can pass multiple package names at once. If no package name is
provided, it will search for a package.json
in the current folder and use
the name
property.
Configuration
browser
- Default: OS X:
"open"
, Windows:"start"
, Others:"xdg-open"
- Type: null, Boolean, or String
The browser that is called by npm commands to open websites.
Set to false
to suppress browser behavior and instead print urls to
terminal.
Set to true
to use default system URL opener.
registry
- Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
- Type: URL
The base URL of the npm registry.
workspace
- Default:
- Type: String (can be set multiple times)
Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by this configuration option.
Valid values for the workspace
config are either:
- Workspace names
- Path to a workspace directory
- Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all workspaces within that folder)
When set for the npm init
command, this may be set to the folder of a
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
brand new workspace within the project.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
workspaces
- Default: null
- Type: null or Boolean
Set to true to run the command in the context of all configured workspaces.
Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like install
to
ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:
- Commands that operate on the
node_modules
tree (install, update, etc.) will link workspaces into thenode_modules
folder. - Commands that do other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project, unless one or more workspaces are specified in theworkspace
config.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
include-workspace-root
- Default: false
- Type: Boolean
Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.
When false, specifying individual workspaces via the workspace
config, or
all workspaces via the workspaces
flag, will cause npm to operate only on
the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.
