pkgmigr8or v1.1.0

pkgmigr8or

pkgmigr8or (Package migrater) is a Migration CLI tool to export packages from NPM to a private registry e.g. Verdaccio.

Installation

npm install -g pkgmigr8or

Pre-Requisites

Authentication

To migrate any of your packages from NPM you will need to have your account logged in using npm adduser.

If your private registry also has auth permissions required to publish you will need to have logged in to that as well, also using npm adduser passing in the --registry-url flag.

You can cat ~/.npmrc and should be able to see tokens for both registries.

Usage

Create a directory somewhere and point your CLI in to it.

The script takes 2 arguments:

1. A file which contains a list of all the packages you want to export.
2. The URL of your private registry you are migrating to.

pkgmigr8or packages.txt http://localhost:4873

Defining your packages.

Create a plain text file in your directory e.g. packages.txt.

Each line represents a new package

myPackage
@myScope/myPackage

Restricting vesrions.

You may not want to get every version ever published of your package for migration. The script will recognise a # in your package name as a version delimiter and for each package of that name will only download packages that satisfy the version constraints based on semver.satisfies. If you don't specify a #, all versions ever published will be migrated.

myPackage#<=1.0.2
@myScope/myPackage#>1.0.2 <2.0.0
