Scopes can be associated with a separate registry. This allows you to seamlessly use a mix of packages from the public npm registry and one or more private registries.
For example, you can associate the scope @jfrog with the registry http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-local/ by manually altering your ~/.npmrc file and adding the following configuration:
@jfrog:registry=http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-local/ //localhost:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-local/:_password=cGFzc3dvcmQ= //localhost:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-local/:username=admin //localhost:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-local/:email=myemail@email.com //localhost:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-local/:always-auth=true
Getting .npmrc entries directly from Artifactory
You can use the following command to get these strings directly from Artifactory:
$ curl -uadmin:password "http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-local/auth/jfrog" @jfrog:registry=http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-local/ //localhost:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-local/:_password=QVA1N05OaHZTMnM5Qk02RkR5RjNBVmF4TVFl //localhost:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-local/:username=admin //localhost:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-local/:email=admin@jfrog.com //localhost:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-local/:always-auth=true
User email is required
When using scope authentication, npm expects a valid email address. Please make sure you have included your email address in your Artifactory user profile.
Note
The password is just a base64 encoding of your Artifactory password, the same way used by the old authentication configuration.
Recommend npm command line tool version 2.1.9 and later.
While npm scope packages have been available since version 2.0 of the npm command line tool, we highly recommend using npm scope packages with Artifactory only from version 2.1.9 of the npm command line tool.
