Configuration

As mentioned in the parameters section, it is possible to specify the specific source that is used when installing a tool. If you always use the same alternative source, doing this for each source can become unwieldy. Instead, it is possible to configure a default source which is used for all tool installations made by the Cake.Npm.Module.

This makes use of the configuration options within Cake which are documented here.

Source repository URL

You can provide a non-default repository URL that all installations will use as the registry. Note that this uses npm's --registry switch and npm will only use the specified registry, replacing npmjs.com

To provide a repository URL, either set the environment variable NPM_SOURCE, provide the --npm_source argument to cake.exe or add a section to your cake.config as per below:

[NPM]
Source=http://mynodepackages.com/registry/

With this configuration in place, all calls to the npm installer will only use the specified repo.
