How to set an .npmrc file to tell npm install to download all the dependencies from https://registry.npmjs.org but only a specific one from a corporate Artifactory under https://artifactory.corporation.io/artifactory/npm/ that needs authentication using ?
We can configure https://registry.npmjs.org as a remote repository(test-npm-remote) in Artifactory. If you have any packages which were developed locally can be deployed to the local(test-npm-local) repository. We can create a virtual repository that consists of local and remote repositories and pull the npm artifacts using the virtual repository(test-npm). You can find more details in the below link.

npm config set registry http://art.local/artifactory/api/npm/test-npm/
npm login
<enter credentials>
Sample NPM client configuration for your reference.
$ cat ~/.npmrc
email=test#test.com
always-auth=true
registry=http://art.local/artifactory/api/npm/test-npm/
//art.local/artifactory/api/npm/test-npm/:username=testuser
//art.local/artifactory/api/npm/test-npm/:_password=XXXXXXX
To install a package: npm install <PACKAGE_NAME>

My company only can use the Intranet, so I set up a Nexus and create a proxy registry to npm install, but I found there are some modules need pull from github. How can I get these modules from Intranet?
I would like to install repos to a parent repo and specify by branch name.
I have tried the following:
npm install username/repo#branchName --save
npm install username/repo#branchName --save
npm install username/repo#tag --save
npm install username/repo#tag --save
I'm getting an error that says:
Could not install from {theRepoWithBranch} as it does not contain a package.json file.
The repo definitely contains a package.json file.
I'm wondering if this is a permissions issue given I'm using an enterprise npm registry.
npm/npm issue 19788 does mention:
Currently, npm does not support installation of modules from git services hosted on private domain names.
That includes both Github for Enterprise on custom domains as well as instances of gitlab, gitea, gogs, bitbucket and many others, basically anything hosted on a custom domain name.
With the comment:
So, obviously you reference installing via an http(s):// URL directly, but just as an fyi, our GitLab Enterprise instance allows us to install using a slightly different format.
We have 2FA enabled, so it requires SSH to be used.
From the docs.
npm install <git-host>:<git-user>/<repo-name>
npm install <git repo url>
We were able to actually install our repos like this:
npm install git+ssh://git#gitlab.mydomain.com:user/repo.git
So this is more a URL format combined with permission issue.
Regarding the branch, as seen here, your syntax is correct.
And:
if I prepend git+ on the HTTPS URL it works (I run gitea which accepts basic auth)

I have installed node js and npm on my windows But when I try to install npm modules(packages) using
command>>npm install -g xxxx(package name)
It doesn't get installed, and it asked me to check proxy setting. As I am working on private network, so may be it doesn't allow me to access the url from which npm packages get downloaded.
Please tell me what is url for such npm packages from where it gets downloaded so that I can ask my network provider to give access for that site.
NPM packages are downloaded from https://registry.npmjs.org unless otherwise configured.
You can get the download URL for a package with npm view, for example JQuery:
npm view jquery dist.tarball
returns: https://registry.npmjs.org/jquery/-/jquery-3.5.1.tgz
You can change the default registry with npm set registry <new url>; this is typically used in large institutions or corporations with an internal registry mirror.
All npm packages are in fact downloaded from GitHub. However, npm resolves those GitHub dependencies via https://www.npmjs.com.
For example, express https://github.com/expressjs/express is the download link.
npm install -g express (or without -g).
The system does not know the GitHub location of the express package. So it must first lookup https://www.npmjs.com to get GitHub url. Then it will clone the package.
I've made a fork of some repository and I need to use that fork as a dependency for my project.
Right now I do:
npm install angular --save
How do I change this to install a fork?
From the NPM documentation for the install command:
npm install <git remote url>
Installs the package from the hosted git provider, cloning it with git. First it tries via the https (git with github) and if that fails, via ssh.
I'm working in an environment where artifactory does not have internet access. We would like to use artifactory as a npm registry and host. Is it possible to upload external dependencies and their transitive dependencies?
For example: I'm on a computer with internet access and downloaded webpack and all its dependencies using npm install. Now I go to a different network with artifactory access and want to upload my node_modules Folder. Does that work somehow?
In addition to Artifactory's proxy/caching features, it can also host multiple local repositories (such as npm repositories) in it. This basically means that you can create an npm local repository in Artifactory and deploy any npm *.tgz packages (your dependencies) into this repository and Artifactory will generate the relevant metadata for your client. All you'll need to do is to deploy the relevant packages and configur your npm clients to resolve from Artifactory.
I have recently made an node module that should help with this problem.
You give it a list of packages that you want downloaded and it will download the packages with all dependencies as a tar.gz. It will then save them in the original npm folder structure, and create a tar.gz with everything inside.
You can then take the tar.gz with all your dependencies and deploy it to Artifactory using the deploy wizard.
When you deploy, select the checkbox "Deploy as Bundle Artifact". This will extract the tar.gz of packages and load them into the npm repository. Artifactory will read the package.json of all packages, and will load the relevant information, allowing you to pull packages with npm.
The package is called package-bundle, and can be downloaded from npm using npm install -g package-bundle
To download packages you can run the command pb bluebird express#1.0.1, which will fetch the specified packages, and all the required dependencies.
