npm-adduser - Add a registry user account

NAME 

NAME

npm-adduser - Add a registry user account

Synopsis

npm adduser

alias: add-user

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

Description
Create a new user in the specified registry, and save the credentials to the .npmrc file. If no registry is specified, the default registry will be used (see npm help registry).

When using legacy for your auth-type, the username, password, and email are read in from prompts.

Configuration
registry

Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"

Type: URL

The base URL of the npm registry.

scope

Default: the scope of the current project, if any, or ""

Type: String

Associate an operation with a scope for a scoped registry.

Useful when logging in to or out of a private registry:

# log in, linking the scope to the custom registry
npm login [email protected] --registry=https://registry.mycorp.com

# log out, removing the link and the auth token
npm logout [email protected]

This will cause @mycorp to be mapped to the registry for future installation of packages specified according to the pattern @mycorp/package.

This will also cause npm init to create a scoped package.

# accept all defaults, and create a package named "@foo/whatever",
# instead of just named "whatever"
npm init [email protected] --yes

auth-type

Default: "web"

Type: "legacy" or "web"

What authentication strategy to use with login.
