The npm registry information is immediately updated as packages are deployed or deleted from the repository. To create a hosted repository with npm format, simply create a new npm (hosted) as documented in Repository Management. It is good practice to create two separate hosted repositories for these purposes. You can create a private npm registry by setting up a hosted repository with the npm format in the repository manager. To proxy an external npm registry, you simply create a new npm (proxy) as documented in Repository Management.Ī private npm registry can be used to upload your own packages as well as third-party packages. You can also proxy any other registries you require. By default npm accesses this registry directly. To reduce duplicate downloads and improve download speeds for your developers and CI servers, you should proxy the registry served at.

This allows you to expose all the external packages from the npm registry and other public registries as well as the private registries as one registry, which greatly simplifies client configuration. To simplify configuration Nexus Repository Manager supports aggregation of npm registries into a single group. Similarly, you can use packages others have created and made available in their npm repositories by proxying them or downloading the packages and installing them in your own private registry for third party packages. To share a package or tool with npm, you create a npm package and store it in the npm registry hosted by the repository manager. You can share internally developed, proprietary packages within your organization via these private registries allowing you to collaborate efficiently across development teams with a central package exchange and storage location. In addition, Nexus Repository Manager supports running your own private registry, also known as a hosted repository, using the npm format. This allows you to take advantage of the packages in the npm registry and other public registries without incurring repeated downloads of packages, since they will be proxied in the repository manager.

NXRM supports the npm registry format for proxy repositories. It is used to create and use node packaged modules and is built into the Javascript platform Node.js. The command line tool npm is a package management solution for Javascript-based development.
