npm adduser via bash

Question

I want to automate the npm login process via a bash script.

I tried it with this snippet:

/usr/bin/expect -f - <

        

Answer 1

@Aurélien Thieriot: thanks for the hint.

I have two solutions for my problem:

Solution 1

export NPM_AUTH_TOKEN=myToken
export NPM_EMAIL=myEmail

create/override ~/.npmrc by following shell script:

echo "_auth = $NPM_AUTH_TOKEN" > ~/.npmrc
echo "email = $NPM_EMAIL" >> ~/.npmrc

Solution 2

export NPM_USERNAME=myUsername
export NPM_PASSWORD=myPassword
export NPM_EMAIL=myEmail

I know the order of the questions. So I can do the following:

npm adduser <

Note: solution 2 works only when the user isn't added yet
Otherwise the $NPM_PASSWORD is not necessary
