How to list all registries npm would use?

Question

I have a package in a private registry. I know it is there as I can pull it into some projects, but I can't pull it into one. I have the correct .npmrc one directory up but am still getting a 404 error.

Is there a way to check all registries that npm would use on install?

Answer 1

You can show the registry of a specific package with the npm view command.

When you use npm config get registry you will see the default registry.

> npm config get registry

With npm config list you can see custom configurations. When you have registered a registry for different scopes you will see them here

@polymer:registry=<url register A>
