Just like our Java, RPM, Debian, Rubygem and Python support, we automatically infer the necessary metadata right from the uploaded Node.js package. You can then install scoped packages from your repository just as you normally would using the npm install command.įor example to install the scoped package version 9.1.0, you would run: $ npm install to use

packagecloud will detect and properly handle scoped packages, automatically. Working with scoped Node.js packages using packagecloud is simple! You can use npm publish, the packagecloud CLI or the packagecloud API just as you normally would. You can learn more about this feature of NPM by reading the scoped packages documentation available on the NPM website. Doing this allows you to easily create a namespace for packages that should be grouped together. Node.js packages can be namespaced by adding what is known as a “scope” to your package name. It works out of the box without any extra configuration. Using the popular Yarn package manager? No problem. Most users will want to leave this setting enabled (the default). Note: If you disable this setting, you will then need to upload every dependency for every package you upload to your packagecloud repository, or npm install will fail. If you would like to only install Node.js packages and their dependencies from your packagecloud repository without relying on the official NPM registry, you can disable automatic proxying by changing the toggle found in your repository’s settings. This way you only have to upload your main packages and not have to worry about also uploading their dependencies. If those dependencies are not found in your packagecloud repository, packagecloud will automatically forward requests for those missing dependencies to the official NPM registy. When you install a package using npm install, the npm program will automatically attempt to install any dependencies required by the package. The NPM registry support added to packagecloud includes support for scoped Node.JS packages and the Yarn package manager right out of the box, with no additional configuration needed.įeatures Automatic proxying from the official NPM registry We are thrilled to announce that you can now upload Node.js packages to your packagecloud repositories! You can upload using npm publish, the packagecloud CLI or the packagecloud API.
