npm config list [--json]

alias: c
</code></pre>
<p>Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.</p>
<h3 id="description">Description</h3>
<p>npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment
variables, <code>npmrc</code> files, and in some cases, the <code>package.json</code> file.</p>
<p>See <a href="../configuring-npm/npmrc.html">npmrc</a> for more information about the npmrc
files.</p>
<p>See <a href="../using-npm/config.html">config</a> for a more thorough explanation of the
mechanisms involved, and a full list of config options available.</p>
<p>The <code>npm config</code> command can be used to update and edit the contents
of the user and global npmrc files.</p>
<h3 id="sub-commands">Sub-commands</h3>
<p>Config supports the following sub-commands:</p>
<h4 id="set">set</h4>
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm config set key=value [key=value...]
npm set key=value [key=value...]
</code></pre>
<p>Sets each of the config keys to the value provided. Modifies the user configuration
file unless <a href="../commands/npm-config#location.html"><code>location</code></a> is passed.</p>
<p>If value is omitted, the key will be removed from your config file entirely.</p>
<p>Note: for backwards compatibility, <code>npm config set key value</code> is supported
as an alias for <code>npm config set key=value</code>.</p>
<h4 id="get">get</h4>
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm config get [key ...]
npm get [key ...]
</code></pre>
<p>Echo the config value(s) to stdout.</p>
<p>If multiple keys are provided, then the values will be prefixed with the
key names.</p>
<p>If no keys are provided, then this command behaves the same as <code>npm config list</code>.</p>
<h4 id="list">list</h4>
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm config list
</code></pre>
<p>Show all the config settings. Use <code>-l</code> to also show defaults. Use <code>--json</code>
to show the settings in json format.</p>
<h4 id="delete">delete</h4>
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm config delete key [key ...]
</code></pre>
<p>Deletes the specified keys from all configuration files.</p>
<h4 id="edit2">edit</h4>
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm config edit
</code></pre>
<p>Opens the config file in an editor.  Use the <code>--global</code> flag to edit the
global config.</p>
<h4 id="fix">fix</h4>
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm config fix
</code></pre>
<p>Attempts to repair invalid configuration items.  Usually this means
attaching authentication config (i.e. <code>_auth</code>, <code>_authToken</code>) to the
configured <code>registry</code>.</p>
<h3 id="configuration">Configuration</h3>
<h4 id="json"><code>json</code></h4>
<ul>
<li>Default: false</li>
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
</ul>
<p>Whether or not to output JSON data, rather than the normal output.</p>
<ul>
<li>In <code>npm pkg set</code> it enables parsing set values with JSON.parse() before
saving them to your <code>package.json</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Not supported by all npm commands.</p>
<h4 id="global"><code>global</code></h4>
<ul>
<li>Default: false</li>
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
</ul>
<p>Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the <code>prefix</code>
folder instead of the current working directory. See
<a href="../configuring-npm/folders.html">folders</a> for more on the differences in behavior.</p>
<ul>
<li>packages are installed into the <code>{prefix}/lib/node_modules</code> folder, instead
of the current working directory.</li>
<li>bin files are linked to <code>{prefix}/bin</code></li>
<li>man pages are linked to <code>{prefix}/share/man</code></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="editor"><code>editor</code></h4>
<ul>
<li>Default: The EDITOR or VISUAL environment variables, or
'%SYSTEMROOT%\notepad.exe' on Windows, or 'vi' on Unix systems</li>
<li>Type: String</li>
</ul>
<p>The command to run for <code>npm edit</code> and <code>npm config edit</code>.</p>
<h4 id="location"><code>location</code></h4>
<ul>
<li>Default: "user" unless <code>--global</code> is passed, which will also set this value
to "global"</li>
<li>Type: "global", "user", or "project"</li>
</ul>
<p>When passed to <code>npm config</code> this refers to which config file to use.</p>
<p>When set to "global" mode, packages are installed into the <code>prefix</code> folder
instead of the current working directory. See
<a href="../configuring-npm/folders.html">folders</a> for more on the differences in behavior.</p>
<ul>
<li>packages are installed into the <code>{prefix}/lib/node_modules</code> folder, instead
of the current working directory.</li>
<li>bin files are linked to <code>{prefix}/bin</code></li>
<li>man pages are linked to <code>{prefix}/share/man</code></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="long"><code>long</code></h4>
<ul>
<li>Default: false</li>
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
</ul>
<p>Show extended information in <code>ls</code>, <code>search</code>, and <code>help-search</code>.</p>
