npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment
variables, npmrc
files, and in some cases, the package.json
file.
See npmrc for more information about the npmrc files.
See config for a more thorough discussion of the mechanisms involved.
The npm config
command can be used to update and edit the contents
of the user and global npmrc files.
Config supports the following sub-commands:
npm config set key value
Sets the config key to the value.
If value is omitted, then it sets it to "true".
npm config get key
Echo the config value to stdout.
npm config list
Show all the config settings. Use -l
to also show defaults. Use --json
to show the settings in json format.
npm config delete key
Deletes the key from all configuration files.
npm config edit
Opens the config file in an editor. Use the --global
flag to edit the
global config.
