Setting Parameters Hopefully that way if the help docs confuse you (or don't have enough information), my description will give some more insight in to whatever you're looking for.

I ended up learning a lot about npm that will help me out a bunch in the future.įor the most part, I tried to write up a unique description of each parameter (different from the help docs). Not only do I think this could be helpful to the readers, but it was extremely helpful to me to look through all the different flags/parameters and to actually test them out.

After reading some of the help documentation recently, I thought it would be helpful to write up details on as many of the npm configurations as possible. Throughout my use of Node, I only ever knew the basic npm commands like save, install, and publish, and even then I didn't really know the optional parameters that went along with them. Package management can really make or break a language, so ensuring that it is easy to use and flexible is extremely important. The Node Package Manager, or npm, is one of the best parts about Node, in my opinion.
