# `@npmcli/config` Configuration management for the npm cli. This module is the spiritual descendant of [`npmconf`](http://npm.im/npmconf), and the code that once lived in npm's`lib/config/` folder. It does the management of configuration files that npm uses, but importantly, does _not_ define all the configuration defaults or types, as those parts make more sense to live within the npm CLI itself. The only exceptions: - The `prefix` config value has some special semantics, setting the local prefix if specified on the CLI options and not in global mode, or the global prefix otherwise.- The `project` config file is loaded based on the local prefix (which can only be set by the CLI config options, and otherwise defaults to a walk up the folder tree to the first parent containing a `node_modules` folder, `package.json` file, or `package-lock.json` file.)- The `userconfig` value, as set by the environment and CLI (defaulting to  `~/.npmrc`, is used to load user configs.- The `globalconfig` value, as set by the environment, CLI, and  `userconfig` file (defaulting to `$PREFIX/etc/npmrc`) is used to load global configs.- A `builtin` config, read from a `npmrc` file in the root of the npm project itself, overrides all defaults. The resulting hierarchy of configs: - CLI switches.  eg `--some-key=some-value` on the command line.  These are parsed by [`nopt`](http://npm.im/nopt), which is not a great choice, but it's the one that npm has used forever, and changing it will be difficult.- Environment variables.  eg `npm_config_some_key=some_value` in the environment.  There is no way at this time to modify this prefix.- INI-formatted project configs.  eg `some-key = some-value` in the  `localPrefix` folder (ie, the `cwd`, or its nearest parent that contains either a `node_modules` folder or `package.json` file.)- INI-formatted userconfig file.  eg `some-key = some-value` in `~/.npmrc`.  The `userconfig` config value can be overridden by the `cli`, `env`, or  `project` configs to change this value.- INI-formatted globalconfig file.  eg `some-key = some-value` in the `globalPrefix` folder, which is inferred by looking at the location of the node executable, or the `prefix` setting in the `cli`, `env`, `project`, or `userconfig`.  The `globalconfig` value at any of those levels can override this.- INI-formatted builtin config file.  eg `some-key = some-value` in `/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/npmrc`.  This is not configurable, and is determined by looking in the `npmPath` folder.- Default values (passed in by npm when it loads this module). ## USAGE ```jsconst Config = require('@npmcli/config')const { shorthands, definitions, flatten } = require('@npmcli/config/lib/definitions') const conf = new Config({  // path to the npm module being run  npmPath: resolve(__dirname, '..'),  definitions,  shorthands,  flatten,  // optional, defaults to process.argv  // argv: [] <- if you are using this package in your own cli  //             and don't want to have colliding argv  argv: process.argv,  // optional, defaults to process.env  env: process.env,  // optional, defaults to process.execPath  execPath: process.execPath,  // optional, defaults to process.platform  platform: process.platform,  // optional, defaults to process.cwd()  cwd: process.cwd(),}) // emits log events on the process object// see `proc-log` for more infoprocess.on('log', (level, ...args) => {  console.log(level, ...args)}) // returns a promise that fails if config loading fails, and// resolves when the config object is ready for actionconf.load().then(() => {  conf.validate()  console.log('loaded ok! some-key = ' + conf.get('some-key'))}).catch(er => {  console.error('error loading configs!', er)})``` ## API The `Config` class is the sole export. ```jsconst Config = require('@npmcli/config')``` ### static `Config.typeDefs` The type definitions passed to `nopt` for CLI option parsing and known configuration validation. ### constructor `new Config(options)` Options: - `types` Types of all known config values.Note that some are effectively given semantic value in the config loading process itself.- `shorthands` An object mapping a shorthand value to an array of CLI arguments that replace it.- `defaults` Default values for each of the known configuration keys.  These should be defined for all configs given a type, and must be valid.- `npmPath` The path to the `npm` module, for loading the `builtin` config file.- `cwd` Optional, defaults to `process.cwd()`, used for inferring the  `localPrefix` and loading the `project` config.- `platform` Optional, defaults to `process.platform`.Used when inferring the `globalPrefix` from the `execPath`, since this is done differently on Windows.- `execPath` Optional, defaults to `process.execPath`.Used to infer the  `globalPrefix`.- `env` Optional, defaults to `process.env`.Source of the environment variables for configuration.- `argv` Optional, defaults to `process.argv`.Source of the CLI options used for configuration. Returns a `config` object, which is not yet loaded. Fields: - `config.globalPrefix` The prefix for `global` operations.Set by the  `prefix` config value, or defaults based on the location of the  `execPath` option.- `config.localPrefix` The prefix for `local` operations.Set by the  `prefix` config value on the CLI only, or defaults to either the `cwd` or its nearest ancestor containing a `node_modules` folder or `package.json` file.- `config.sources` A read-only `Map` of the file (or a comment, if no file found, or relevant) to the config level loaded from that source.- `config.data` A `Map` of config level to `ConfigData` objects.These objects should not be modified directly under any circumstances.  - `source` The source where this data was loaded from.  - `raw` The raw data used to generate this config data, as it was parsed initially from the environment, config file, or CLI options.  - `data` The data object reflecting the inheritance of configs up to this point in the chain.  - `loadError` Any errors encountered that prevented the loading of this config data.- `config.list` A list sorted in priority of all the config data objects in the prototype chain.`config.list[0]` is the `cli` level,  `config.list[1]` is the `env` level, and so on.- `cwd` The `cwd` param- `env` The `env` param- `argv` The `argv` param- `execPath` The `execPath` param- `platform` The `platform` param- `defaults` The `defaults` param- `shorthands` The `shorthands` param- `types` The `types` param- `npmPath` The `npmPath` param- `globalPrefix` The effective `globalPrefix`- `localPrefix` The effective `localPrefix`- `prefix` If `config.get('global')` is true, then `globalPrefix`, otherwise `localPrefix`- `home` The user's home directory, found by looking at `env.HOME` or calling `os.homedir()`.- `loaded` A boolean indicating whether or not configs are loaded- `valid` A getter that returns `true` if all the config objects are valid.  Any data objects that have been modified with `config.set(...)` will be re-evaluated when `config.valid` is read. ### `config.load()` Load configuration from the various sources of information. Returns a `Promise` that resolves when configuration is loaded, and fails if a fatal error is encountered. ### `config.find(key)` Find the effective place in the configuration levels a given key is set.Returns one of: `cli`, `env`, `project`, `user`, `global`, `builtin`, or`default`. Returns `null` if the key is not set. ### `config.get(key, where = 'cli')` Load the given key from the config stack. ### `config.set(key, value, where = 'cli')` Set the key to the specified value, at the specified level in the config stack. ### `config.delete(key, where = 'cli')` Delete the configuration key from the specified level in the config stack. ### `config.validate(where)` Verify that all known configuration options are set to valid values, and log a warning if they are invalid. Invalid auth options will cause this method to throw an error with a `code` property of `ERR_INVALID_AUTH`, and a `problems` property listing the specific concerns with the current configuration. If `where` is not set, then all config objects are validated. Returns `true` if all configs are valid. Note that it's usually enough (and more efficient) to just check`config.valid`, since each data object is marked for re-evaluation on every`config.set()` operation. ### `config.repair(problems)` Accept an optional array of problems (as thrown by `config.validate()`) and perform the necessary steps to resolve them.If no problems are provided, this method will call `config.validate()` internally to retrieve them. Note that you must `await config.save('user')` in order to persist the changes. ### `config.isDefault(key)` Returns `true` if the value is coming directly from the default definitions, if the current value for the key config is coming from any other source, returns `false`. This method can be used for avoiding or tweaking default values, e.g: >  Given a global default definition of foo='foo' it's possible to read that value such as:>>  ```js>     const save = config.get('foo')>  ```>>  Now in a different place of your app it's possible to avoid using the `foo` default value, by checking to see if the current config value is currently one that was defined by the default definitions:>>  ```js>     const save = config.isDefault('foo') ? 'bar' : config.get('foo')>  ``` ### `config.save(where)` Save the config file specified by the `where` param.Must be one of`project`, `user`, `global`, `builtin`.
