Private modules in Bitbucket Pipelines

Automates some of the steps described in the Bitbucket Pipelines docs to work with modules from a private NPM registry.

Usage

First, configure the following environment variable in Bitbucket Pipelines:

• NPM_TOKEN: This is the authentication token to your registry. You can find it in your local ~/.npmrc, after you login to your registry.

Your bitbucket-pipelines.yml script can then use pipelines-private-npm to configure the build container:

image: node:carbon-slim

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        script:
          - npm i -g pipelines-private-npm
          - build-setup
          - npm install
          - ...

Configuration parameters

The build-setup script accepts parameters to configure the registry, NPM organization and alias for the registry:

• -r <registry>: Configure the registry, e.g. build-setup -r https://npm-private.example.com.
• -o <org>: Configure the NPM organization for packages like @example/my-package. Example: build-setup -r https://npm-private.example.com -o example.
• -a <alias>: Configure an alias hostname for the registry specified with -r. This is useful for entries in yarn.lock that point to a specific registry host, but should be resolved against another host, e.g. a proxy.
• -d: Perform a dry run without modifying any files.

Example

Configure the https://npm-private.example.com registry with the NPM_TOKEN from the build environment for packages like @example/my-package. Ensure that requests for https://npm-private.example.com actually go to https://npm-private-proxy.example.com.

build-setup -r https://npm-private.example.com -o example -a npm-private-proxy.example.com
