Synopsis
npm rebuild [[<@scope>/]<name>[@<version>] ...]
alias: rb
Description
This command runs the npm build
command on the matched folders. This is
useful when you install a new version of node, and must recompile all your
C++ addons with the new binary. It is also useful when installing with
--ignore-scripts
and --no-bin-links
, to explicitly choose which
packages to build and/or link bins.
If one or more package names (and optionally version ranges) are provided, then only packages with a name and version matching one of the specifiers will be rebuilt.
Configuration
global
- Default: false
- Type: Boolean
Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the prefix
folder instead of the current working directory. See
folders for more on the differences in behavior.
- packages are installed into the
{prefix}/lib/node_modules
folder, instead of the current working directory. - bin files are linked to
{prefix}/bin
- man pages are linked to
{prefix}/share/man
bin-links
- Default: true
- Type: Boolean
Tells npm to create symlinks (or .cmd
shims on Windows) for package
executables.
Set to false to have it not do this. This can be used to work around the fact that some file systems don't support symlinks, even on ostensibly Unix systems.
ignore-scripts
- Default: false
- Type: Boolean
If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files.
Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as
npm start
, npm stop
, npm restart
, npm test
, and npm run-script
will still run their intended script if ignore-scripts
is set, but they
will not run any pre- or post-scripts.
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.
