what-is-verdaccio What is Verdaccio?

Verdaccio is a lightweight private npm proxy registry built in Node.js

Using a private npm registry like Verdaccio is one of the Top 10 NPM Security Best Practices recommended by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).

What's a registry?

  • A registry is a repository for packages, that implements the CommonJS Compliant Package Registry specification for reading package's information.
  • Provide a compatible API with npm clients (yarn/npm/pnpm).
  • Semantic Versioning compatible (semver).

Using Verdaccio

Using Verdaccio with any Node.js package manager client is quite straightforward.

registry

You can use a custom registry either by setting it globally for all your projects

npm set registry http://localhost:4873

or by using it in command line as an argument --registry in npm (slightly different in yarn)

npm install lodash --registry http://localhost:4873
yarn config set registry http://localhost:4873

To have a more detailed explanation, I invite you to watch the full explanation Angular Library: How To Use a Library in a poly-repo Using Verdaccio by Fanis Prodromou on his YouTube channel.

Private

All packages that you publish are private and only accessible based in your configuration.
