Description npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment vari- ables, npmrc files, and in some cases, the package.json file. See npm help npmrc for more information about the npmrc files. See npm help config(7) for a more thorough explanation of the mecha- nisms involved, and a full list of config options available. The npm config command can be used to update and edit the contents of the user and global npmrc files. Sub-commands Config supports the following sub-commands: set npm config set key=value [key=value...] npm set key=value [key=value...] Sets each of the config keys to the value provided. If value is omitted, then it sets it to an empty string. Note: for backwards compatibility, npm config set key value is sup- ported as an alias for npm config set key=value. get npm config get [key ...] npm get [key ...] Echo the config value(s) to stdout. If multiple keys are provided, then the values will be prefixed with the key names. If no keys are provided, then this command behaves the same as npm con- fig list. list npm config list Show all the config settings. Use -l to also show defaults. Use --json to show the settings in json format. delete npm config delete key [key ...] Deletes the specified keys from all configuration files. edit npm config edit Opens the config file in an editor. Use the --global flag to edit the global config. Configuration json o Default: false o Type: Boolean Whether or not to output JSON data, rather than the normal output. o In npm pkg set it enables parsing set values with JSON.parse() before saving them to your package.json. Not supported by all npm commands. global o Default: false o Type: Boolean Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the pre- fix folder instead of the current working directory. See npm help fold- ers for more on the differences in behavior. o packages are installed into the {prefix}/lib/node_modules folder, instead of the current working directory. o bin files are linked to {prefix}/bin o man pages are linked to {prefix}/share/man editor o Default: The EDITOR or VISUAL environment variables, or 'notepad.exe' on Windows, or 'vim' on Unix systems o Type: String The command to run for npm edit and npm config edit. location o Default: "user" unless --global is passed, which will also set this value to "global" o Type: "global", "user", or "project" When passed to npm config this refers to which config file to use. long o Default: false o Type: Boolean Show extended information in ls, search, and help-search.
