8 Synopsis
9 npm adduser
10
11 alias: add-user
12
13 Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
14
15 Description
16 Create a new user in the specified registry, and save the credentials
17 to the .npmrc file. If no registry is specified, the default registry
18 will be used (see npm help registry).
19
20 When using legacy for your auth-type, the username, password, and email
21 are read in from prompts.
22
23 Configuration
24 registry
25 • Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
26
27 • Type: URL
28
29
30 The base URL of the npm registry.
31
32 scope
33 • Default: the scope of the current project, if any, or ""
34
35 • Type: String
36
37
38 Associate an operation with a scope for a scoped registry.
39
40 Useful when logging in to or out of a private registry:
41
42 # log in, linking the scope to the custom registry
43 npm login --scope=@mycorp --registry=https://registry.mycorp.com
44
45 # log out, removing the link and the auth token
46 npm logout --scope=@mycorp
47
48 This will cause @mycorp to be mapped to the registry for future instal‐
49 lation of packages specified according to the pattern @mycorp/package.
50
51 This will also cause npm init to create a scoped package.
52
53 # accept all defaults, and create a package named "@foo/whatever",
54 # instead of just named "whatever"
55 npm init --scope=@foo --yes
56
57 auth-type
58 • Default: "web"
59
60 • Type: "legacy" or "web"
61
62
63 What authentication strategy to use with login. Note that if an otp
64 config is given, this value will always be set to legacy.
