# npm Package Registry
Publish [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) packages for your user or organization.
## Requirements
To work with the npm package registry, you need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) coupled with a package manager such as [Yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install) or [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm/) itself.
The registry supports [scoped](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scope/) and unscoped packages.
The following examples use the `npm` tool with the scope `@test`.
## Configuring the package registry
To register the package registry you need to configure a new package source.
```shell
npm config set {scope}:registry https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/npm/
npm config set -- '//gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/npm/:_authToken' "{token}"
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ------------ | ----------- |
| `scope` | The scope of the packages. |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `token` | Your [personal access token](development/api-usage.md#authentication). |
For example:
```shell
npm config set @test:registry https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/npm/
npm config set -- '//gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/npm/:_authToken' "personal_access_token"
```
or without scope:
```shell
npm config set registry https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/npm/
npm config set -- '//gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/npm/:_authToken' "personal_access_token"
```
## Publish a package
Publish a package by running the following command in your project:
```shell
npm publish
```
You cannot publish a package if a package of the same name and version already exists. You must delete the existing package first.
## Unpublish a package
Delete a package by running the following command:
```shell
npm unpublish {package_name}[@{package_version}]
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ----------------- | ----------- |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
| `package_version` | The package version. |
For example:
```shell
npm unpublish @test/test_package
npm unpublish @test/test_package@1.0.0
```
## Install a package
To install a package from the package registry, execute the following command:
```shell
npm install {package_name}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| -------------- | ----------- |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
For example:
```shell
npm install @test/test_package
```
## Tag a package
The registry supports [version tags](https://docs.npmjs.com/adding-dist-tags-to-packages/) which can be managed by `npm dist-tag`:
```shell
npm dist-tag add {package_name}@{version} {tag}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| -------------- | ----------- |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
| `version` | The version of the package. |
| `tag` | The tag name. |
For example:
```shell
npm dist-tag add test_package@1.0.2 release
```
The tag name must not be a valid version. All tag names which are parsable as a version are rejected.
## Search packages
The registry supports [searching](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/commands/npm-search/) but does not support special search qualifiers like `author:gitea`.
## Supported commands
```
npm install
npm ci
npm publish
npm unpublish
npm dist-tag
npm view
npm search
```
