For your npm command line client to work with Artifactory, you first need to set the default npm registry with an Artifactory npm repository using the following command (the example below uses a repository called npm-repo ):
Replacing the default registry
npm config set registry http://<ARTIFACTORY_SERVER_DOMAIN>:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-repo/
For scoped packages, use the following command:
npm config set @<SCOPE>:registry http://<ARTIFACTORY_SERVER_DOMAIN>:8081/artifactory/api/npm/npm-repo/
Tip
We recommend referencing a Virtual Repositories URL as a registry. This gives you the flexibility to reconfigure and aggregate other external sources and local repositories of npm packages you deployed.
Note that if you do this, you need to use the --registry parameter to specify the local repository into which you are publishing your package when using the npm publish command.
