NPM-LOAD(3)

Hi bestie 💖, welcome to npm-load(3) — the npm-load manual page, aka where config settings get loaded. Strap in, it's short and iconic.

💅 NAME 💅

npm-load — Load config settings

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

npm.load(conf, cb)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so, real talk: npm.load() must be called before any other function call. Like, that's the vibe check you do first — no cap. Both parameters are optional, but the second one is recommended, so maybe don't skip it, bestie.

The first parameter is an object containing command-line config params. The second parameter is a callback that will be called when npm is loaded and ready to serve. 🫶

That first parameter should follow a similar structure as the package.json config object.

For example, to emulate the --dev flag, pass an object that looks like this:

{
  "dev": true
}

For a list of all the available command-line configs, see npm help config.

That's the whole page, bestie — straight from March 2017, under the NPM-LOAD(3) banner. Mwah 💋
