NPM-SEARCH(1)

NAME
npm-search - Search for packages

SYNOPSIS

    npm search [-l|--long] [search terms ...]

    aliases: s, se, find

DESCRIPTION

Search the registry for packages matching the search terms.

If a term starts with /, then it's interpreted as a regular expression. A trailing / will be ignored in this case. (Note that many regular expression characters must be escaped or quoted in most shells.)

CONFIGURATION

  long

    •   Default: false

    •   Type: Boolean

Display full package descriptions and other long text across multiple lines. When disabled (default) search results are truncated to fit neatly on a single line. Modules with extremely long names will fall on multiple lines.

  registry

    •   Default: https://registry.npmjs.org/

    •   Type : url

Search the specified registry for modules. If you have configured npm to point to a different default registry, such as your internal private module repository, npm search will default to that registry when searching. Pass a different registry url such as the default above in order to override this setting.
