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

For people working with a private registry (typically for CI purpose), reaching directly the Rest API may be a solution :

curl -XPUT -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{ "name": "your_username", "password": "your_password" }' 'http://localhost:4873/-/user/org.couchdb.user:your_username'

This is what npm adduser is doing behind the scene.
