dev-verdaccio

This is an example repository for starting out with a local development verdaccio registry on your local computer.

What does this do for you?

• Publish npm modules to a non-public registry for sanity testing
• Consume published npm modules version from the local registry to verify it works on import

Getting Started

Install npmrc tool

    npm install -g npmrc

Make a local profile that points to verdaccio

npmrc -c local

Run the verdaccio server

npm server

Sign in to the verdaccio server once it's running, and add it as your standard config

npm adduser --registry http://localhost:4873/
npm config set registry http://localhost:4873/

Understanding the files

This folder is literally it's own contained verdaccio implementation. The following files/directories are:

• config.yaml

  Verdaccio configuration file with suitable defaults for getting started

• storage

  This is where verdaccio will store its published packages. Deletion of these packages will remove them from the registry.

• htpasswd

  This is the password file that is generated when you log into this registry with:

  npm adduser --registry http://localhost:4873/

Publishing a local package

If you've set up your npmrc local and logged in to this repo, then you should be able to publish right away to the verdaccio repo when it's running.

# From your local project repo
npmrc local

yarn publish

Now you should be able to see the new module in the verdaccio web UI, and in the storage folder!

As long as you keep your npmrc set to local, you can also install the same package and it will pull from verdaccio.

yarn add my-package

Clean Storage

If you would like to quickly reset the packages in your verdaccio repo, you should:

1. Stop your verdaccio instance

2. Run

   yarn clean-storage
