Quick Guide to Private NPM Modules on Netlify

readme.md

Using NPM Private Modules on Netlify

Create a .npmrc file for your project like this:

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}

Then find your token inside the ~/.npmrc file in your home folder and set it as an NPM_TOKEN environment variable through netlify's admin UI.

How do you make this work in the local dev environment?

$ yarn
yarn install v1.13.0
error An unexpected error occurred: "Failed to replace env in config: ${NPM_TOKEN}".

You set the env variable first.
Either inline : NPM_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxx yarn
Or by setting it up for your system.

EDIT

See this thread on the npm forum about configuring w/ env vars.

@bsdahl use an .envrc file: https://github.com/direnv/direnv

The private packages located in GitHub under one project, I have 10-15 small Modules now,

my npmrc look like this

@organization:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com

I don't have a token setup here, How to make it work in my scenario
