This module installs an .ebextensions
config file that will authenticate
your Elastic Beanstalk environments to npm.
The config file will do this by creating an .npmrc
that reads the value of the
NPM_TOKEN
environment variable. This .npmrc
file will only be created in
EB, letting you use whatever authentication strategy you like locally. (The
alternative.)
By the way I was really hoping that EB would automatically read NPM_TOKEN
as
per this Stack Overflow answer but that didn't work for me
(tested 8/3/2016).
npm install eb-authenticate-npm --save-dev
(see here for why--save-dev
)- Commit the
.ebextensions
file it creates. - Set the
NPM_TOKEN
EB environment variable to an npm authentication token. - Deploy.
This module will overwrite the file if/when it is updated.
Pull requests are welcome if you have some generally-useful modifications to suggest.
If you'd like to make modifications specific to your use case, you should uninstall
this module after installing the .ebextensions
file. Uninstallation won't take
the file with it.
Thanks to Remy Sharp for suggesting this strategy, and this
Stack Overflow answer for helping me figure out where the .npmrc
needed
to be written.
