.npmrc and .npmignore files
Raw
.npmrc and .npmignore files
.npmignore
Blacklisting files with npmignore
The .npmignore file works the same way as a .gitignore file.
If a file is listed in the .npmignore file, the file will be excluded from the package.
Important note: If you have a .npmignore file, npm will use the .npmignore file. npm will ignore the .gitignore file altogether.
(Many developers mistakenly believe npm will use both .npmignore and .gitignore files. Don’t make the same mistake!).
.npmrc
This file is a configuration file for NPM, it defines the settings on how NPM should behave when running commands.
There are several ways to configure NPM. You can do it via:
The command line by passing a setting with the NPM command you want to run.
Through ENV variables
And through..guess what.. npmrc
