💅 npm-undeprecate 💅

ok so real talk, this is the npm-undeprecate page from the NPM-UNDEPRECATE(1) manual, and honestly? she's a short one but she's iconic. let's get into it bestie 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

npm-undeprecate — literally just undoing a deprecation on a version of a package. that's it. that's the whole gig. cleansing the aura of a package that got a sad little warning slapped on it 🌸

🦋 Synopsis

npm undeprecate <package-spec>
heads up bestie: this command is completely unaware of workspaces. like, zero awareness. it does not know them, it does not see them, it does not care. 💀

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so picture this: a package in the npm registry has a deprecation warning on it. sad. tragic. giving "cancelled" energy. this command goes in and updates the npm registry entry for that package, removing any deprecation warnings that currently exist. poof. gone. glow-up complete ✨

it operates in exactly the same way as npm help deprecate, except — and this is the main character twist — this command removes deprecation warnings instead of adding them. same energy, opposite direction. no cap. 🔥

⭐ CONFIGURATION ⭐

🌈 registry

this is the base URL of the npm registry. the home base. the mothership. where all the packages live 💖

🔐 otp

  • Default: null
  • Type: null or String

this is a one-time password from a two-factor authenticator. you need it when publishing or when changing package permissions with npm access — so like, the serious stuff. 👑

if it's not set, and a registry response comes back with a challenge asking for a one-time password, npm will just prompt you right there on the command line for one. convenient fr fr 🎀

🙈 dry-run

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

this one tells npm "bestie do NOT actually change anything, just tell me what you would have done." it's the vibe-check-only mode. 👀

you can pass this into any of the commands that modify your local installation — eg, install, update, dedupe, uninstall — and also pack and publish.

⚠️ important caveat incoming: this is NOT honored by other network-related commands, eg dist-tags, owner, etc. so don't go thinking it's a universal shield, because it is not. 😭

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

  • npm help deprecate
