# npm-offline-registry
|
||||
Supper simple NPM registry server for offline NPM install
|
||||
|
||||
# Usage
|
||||
|
||||
* install this npm mpdule
|
||||
|
||||
`npm i harish2704/npm-offline-registry`
|
||||
* Run local npm-registry server
|
||||
|
||||
`npm-offline-registry`
|
||||
*OR*
|
||||
`node node_modules/.bin/npm-offline-registry`
|
||||
|
||||
* Now the server will run on [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080)
|
||||
* use `http://localhost:8080/` as registry while doing npm install
|
||||
- Either use `npm install --registry http://localhost:8080/ [package-name]...`
|
||||
- Or permanently set config variable `npm config set registry http://localhost:8080/`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# How it is working?
|
||||
|
||||
* When ever we do `npm install` in normal condition, the `npm` tool will keep a cache directory of the files which was downloaded by `npm` tool.
|
||||
* Default location of this cache directory is `~/.npm` for UNIX machines
|
||||
* `npm-offline-registry` tool will serve the requests using the cached versions of the files.
|
||||
* If a package/version is not found on cache, it is fetched from main `npm` registry. Then is properly inserted in to npm's cache directory.
|
||||
|
||||
# Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
Currently this tool is using following unix commands to manipulate npm's cache directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* `wget` for downloading the content from main npm registry
|
||||
* `mkdir` with `-p` option
|
||||
* `tar` command with gzip uncompresion
|
||||
|
||||
I believe all the above said tools will be available in a typical UNIX machine.
|
||||
|
||||
# Configurations
|
||||
|
||||
Please check config.js. All config values can be over-written by `environment-variables`
