registry-url

registry-url

Get the set npm registry URL

It's usually https://registry.npmjs.org/, but it's configurable.

Use this if you do anything with the npm registry as users will expect it to use their configured registry.

Install

npm install registry-url

Usage

# .npmrc
registry = 'https://custom-registry.com/'

import registryUrl, {defaultUrl} from 'registry-url';

console.log(registryUrl());
//=> 'https://custom-registry.com/'

console.log(defaultUrl);
//=> 'https://registry.npmjs.org/'

It can also retrieve the registry URL associated with an npm scope.

# .npmrc
@myco:registry = 'https://custom-registry.com/'

import registryUrl from 'registry-url';

console.log(registryUrl('@myco'));
//=> 'https://custom-registry.com/'

If the provided scope is not in the user's .npmrc file, then registry-url will check for the existence of registry, or if that's not set, fallback to the default npm registry.

config-chain

Config-chain is a utility for pulling nested configuration data from INI and JSON files, environment variables, and command-line arguments. It is more versatile than registry-url, offering a broader range of configuration options, but it is also more complex and not specific to npm settings.
