NAME
npm-bugs - Report bugs for a package in a web browser
Synopsis
npm bugs [<pkgname> [<pkgname> ...]]
alias: issues
Description
This command tries to guess at the likely location of a package's bug
tracker URL or the mailto URL of the support email, and then tries to
open it using the --browser config </using-npm/config#browser> param.
If no package name is provided, it will search for a package.json in
the current folder and use the name property.
Configuration
browser
o Default: macOS: "open", Windows: "start", Others: "xdg-open"
o Type: null, Boolean, or String
The browser that is called by npm commands to open websites.
Set to false to suppress browser behavior and instead print urls to
terminal.
Set to true to use default system URL opener.
registry
o Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
o Type: URL
The base URL of the npm registry.
workspace
o Default:
o Type: String (can be set multiple times)
Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of
the current project while filtering by running only the workspaces
defined by this configuration option.
Valid values for the workspace config are either:
o Workspace names
o Path to a workspace directory
o Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
workspaces within that folder)
When set for the npm init command, this may be set to the folder of a
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up
as a brand new workspace within the project.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
workspaces
o Default: null
o Type: null or Boolean
Set to true to run the command in the context of all configured
workspaces.
Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like install to
ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:
o Commands that operate on the node_modules tree (install, update,
etc.) will link workspaces into the node_modules folder. - Commands
that do other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on
the root project, unless one or more workspaces are specified in
the workspace config.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
include-workspace-root
o Default: false
o Type: Boolean
Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.
When false, specifying individual workspaces via the workspace config,
or all workspaces via the workspaces flag, will cause npm to operate
only on the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
