Additional Parameters

FDGRUNT_INP_ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS

All default npmrc configurations are listed when the command “npm config list -l” is run.

Some examples are-

1.registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/ (Specifies the URL of the npm registry)

2.strict-ssl=false (Controls SSL certificate validation during HTTPS requests.)

3.proxy=http://your-proxy-url:port
https-proxy=http://your-https-proxy-url:port (Specifies the URL of the proxy server.)

4.loglevel=verbose (Sets the logging level for npm output (e.g., silent, error, warn, info, verbose, debug).)

5.production=true (Instructs npm to skip installation of devDependencies.)

For more details, refer npm-config | npm Docs

Also, when multiple .npmrc files are available, npm follows a specific hierarchy for merging these configurations. Such as Project-Specific > User-Specific >Global.

For more details, refer https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/configuring-npm/npmrc
