1481cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<div id="_content"><h3 id="description">Description</h3>
1491cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>All npm packages have a name. Some package names also have a scope. A scope
1501cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cifollows the usual rules for package names (URL-safe characters, no leading dots
1511cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cior underscores). When used in package names, scopes are preceded by an <code>@</code> symbol
1521cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciand followed by a slash, e.g.</p>
1531cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<pre><code class="language-bash">@somescope/somepackagename
1541cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</code></pre>
1551cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Scopes are a way of grouping related packages together, and also affect a few
1561cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cithings about the way npm treats the package.</p>
1571cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Each npm user/organization has their own scope, and only you can add packages
1581cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciin your scope. This means you don't have to worry about someone taking your
1591cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cipackage name ahead of you. Thus it is also a good way to signal official packages
1601cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cifor organizations.</p>
1611cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Scoped packages can be published and installed as of <code>npm@2</code> and are supported
1621cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciby the primary npm registry. Unscoped packages can depend on scoped packages and
1631cb0ef41Sopenharmony_civice versa. The npm client is backwards-compatible with unscoped registries,
1641cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciso it can be used to work with scoped and unscoped registries at the same time.</p>
1651cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h3 id="installing-scoped-packages">Installing scoped packages</h3>
1661cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Scoped packages are installed to a sub-folder of the regular installation
1671cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cifolder, e.g. if your other packages are installed in <code>node_modules/packagename</code>,
1681cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciscoped modules will be installed in <code>node_modules/@myorg/packagename</code>. The scope
1691cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cifolder (<code>@myorg</code>) is simply the name of the scope preceded by an <code>@</code> symbol, and can
1701cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cicontain any number of scoped packages.</p>
1711cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>A scoped package is installed by referencing it by name, preceded by an
1721cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<code>@</code> symbol, in <code>npm install</code>:</p>
1731cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install @myorg/mypackage
1741cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</code></pre>
1751cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Or in <code>package.json</code>:</p>
1761cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<pre><code class="language-json">"dependencies": {
1771cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci  "@myorg/mypackage": "^1.3.0"
1781cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci}
1791cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</code></pre>
1801cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Note that if the <code>@</code> symbol is omitted, in either case, npm will instead attempt to
1811cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciinstall from GitHub; see <a href="../commands/npm-install.html"><code>npm install</code></a>.</p>
1821cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h3 id="requiring-scoped-packages">Requiring scoped packages</h3>
1831cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Because scoped packages are installed into a scope folder, you have to
1841cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciinclude the name of the scope when requiring them in your code, e.g.</p>
1851cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<pre><code class="language-javascript">require('@myorg/mypackage')
1861cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</code></pre>
1871cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>There is nothing special about the way Node treats scope folders. This
1881cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cisimply requires the <code>mypackage</code> module in the folder named <code>@myorg</code>.</p>
1891cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h3 id="publishing-scoped-packages">Publishing scoped packages</h3>
1901cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Scoped packages can be published from the CLI as of <code>npm@2</code> and can be
1911cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cipublished to any registry that supports them, including the primary npm
1921cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciregistry.</p>
1931cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>(As of 2015-04-19, and with npm 2.0 or better, the primary npm registry
1941cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<strong>does</strong> support scoped packages.)</p>
1951cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>If you wish, you may associate a scope with a registry; see below.</p>
1961cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h4 id="publishing-public-scoped-packages-to-the-primary-npm-registry">Publishing public scoped packages to the primary npm registry</h4>
1971cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Publishing to a scope, you have two options:</p>
1981cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<ul>
1991cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<li>Publishing to your user scope (example: <code>@username/module</code>)</li>
2001cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<li>Publishing to an organization scope (example: <code>@org/module</code>)</li>
2011cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</ul>
2021cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>If publishing a public module to an organization scope, you must
2031cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cifirst either create an organization with the name of the scope
2041cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cithat you'd like to publish to or be added to an existing organization
2051cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciwith the appropriate permissions. For example, if you'd like to
2061cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cipublish to <code>@org</code>, you would  need to create the <code>org</code> organization
2071cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cion npmjs.com prior to trying to publish.</p>
2081cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Scoped packages are not public by default.  You will need to specify
2091cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<code>--access public</code> with the initial <code>npm publish</code> command.  This will publish
2101cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cithe package and set access to <code>public</code> as if you had run <code>npm access public</code>
2111cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciafter publishing.  You do not need to do this when publishing new versions of
2121cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cian existing scoped package.</p>
2131cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h4 id="publishing-private-scoped-packages-to-the-npm-registry">Publishing private scoped packages to the npm registry</h4>
2141cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>To publish a private scoped package to the npm registry, you must have
2151cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cian <a href="https://docs.npmjs.com/private-modules/intro">npm Private Modules</a>
2161cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciaccount.</p>
2171cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>You can then publish the module with <code>npm publish</code> or <code>npm publish --access restricted</code>, and it will be present in the npm registry, with
2181cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cirestricted access. You can then change the access permissions, if
2191cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cidesired, with <code>npm access</code> or on the npmjs.com website.</p>
2201cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h3 id="associating-a-scope-with-a-registry">Associating a scope with a registry</h3>
2211cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Scopes can be associated with a separate registry. This allows you to
2221cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciseamlessly use a mix of packages from the primary npm registry and one or more
2231cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciprivate registries, such as <a href="https://github.com/features/packages">GitHub Packages</a> or the open source <a href="https://verdaccio.org">Verdaccio</a>
2241cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciproject.</p>
2251cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>You can associate a scope with a registry at login, e.g.</p>
2261cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<pre><code class="language-bash">npm login --registry=http://reg.example.com --scope=@myco
2271cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</code></pre>
2281cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Scopes have a many-to-one relationship with registries: one registry can
2291cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cihost multiple scopes, but a scope only ever points to one registry.</p>
2301cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>You can also associate a scope with a registry using <code>npm config</code>:</p>
2311cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<pre><code class="language-bash">npm config set @myco:registry=http://reg.example.com
2321cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</code></pre>
2331cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Once a scope is associated with a registry, any <code>npm install</code> for a package
2341cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciwith that scope will request packages from that registry instead. Any
2351cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<code>npm publish</code> for a package name that contains the scope will be published to
2361cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cithat registry instead.</p>
