Private NodeJS packages

Requirements

The package scope must match the product identifier in order to work. So make sure you adjust your package.json and set the package name to @your-product-identifier/package-name }}:

1{
2    "name": "@your-product-identifier/hello-world", 
3    "version": "1.0.0",
4    "description": "Cool product description",
5    //...
6}

Installation instructions

First, add the following repository to the npm or yarn config with the following command.

1# NPM
2npm config set @your-product-identifier:registry 'https://your-product-identifier.nodejs.pub'
3 
4# Yarn
5yarn config set @your-product-identifier:registry 'https://your-product-identifier.nodejs.pub'

Next, they will need to set their license key (and fingerprint if applicable).

1# NPM
2npm config set '//your-product-identifier.nodejs.pub/:_authToken' '[license-key]'
3 
4# Yarn
5yarn config set '//your-product-identifier.nodejs.pub/:_authToken' '[license-key]'

If your license policy requires a fingerprint the user will need to append his/her fingerprint to their license key. For example, let's say we have the following licensee and license activation:

License key: aaaff29c-94e7-4d59-ab95-86b4248d9443
Activation fingerprint: unlock.sh

This will require your licensee to set the following config:

1# NPM
2npm config set '//your-product-identifier.nodejs.pub/:_authToken' 'aaaff29c-94e7-4d59-ab95-86b4248d9443:unlock.sh'
3 
4# Yarn
5yarn config set '//your-product-identifier.nodejs.pub/:_authToken' 'aaaff29c-94e7-4d59-ab95-86b4248d9443:unlock.sh'

Next, run the install command by using the correct scope and package name:

1# NPM
2npm install @your-product-identifier/hello-world
3 
4# Yarn
5npm add @your-product-identifier/hello-world
