Private Global NPM Packages

A Buildkite plugin to utilise global installations of npm packages in your builds. This is particularly useful if you need to access private packages.

Prerequisites

Node installation on your Buildkite agents.

Install a npm package as global

steps:
  - plugins:
    - lendi-au/npm-global:
          env: "NPM_TOKEN"
          package: "@private-org/package"

Custom registry support

We have a custom registry which uses basic authentication rather than a typical NPM_TOKEN.

steps:
  - plugins:
    - lendi-au/npm-global:
          token: "echo -n user:password | openssl base64"
          authtype: "BASIC"
          registry: "https://my-registry.example.org"
          package: "@private-org/package"
