.. _npm-fetcher:
NPM Fetcher (``npm://``)
------------------------
This submodule fetches source code from an
`NPM <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Npm_(software)>`__
Javascript package registry.
The format for the :term:`SRC_URI` setting must be::
SRC_URI = "npm://some.registry.url;OptionA=xxx;OptionB=xxx;..."
This fetcher supports the following parameters:
- *"package":* The NPM package name. This is a mandatory parameter.
- *"version":* The NPM package version. This is a mandatory parameter.
- *"downloadfilename":* Specifies the filename used when storing the downloaded file.
- *"destsuffix":* Specifies the directory to use to unpack the package (default: ``npm``).
Note that NPM fetcher only fetches the package source itself. The dependencies
can be fetched through the `npmsw-fetcher`_.
Here is an example URL with both fetchers::
SRC_URI = " \
npm://registry.npmjs.org/;package=cute-files;version=${PV} \
npmsw://${THISDIR}/${BPN}/npm-shrinkwrap.json \
"
See :yocto_docs:`Creating Node Package Manager (NPM) Packages
</dev-manual/common-tasks.html#creating-node-package-manager-npm-packages>`
in the Yocto Project manual for details about using
:yocto_docs:`devtool <https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/devtool-reference.html>`
to automatically create a recipe from an NPM URL.
.. _npmsw-fetcher:
NPM shrinkwrap Fetcher (``npmsw://``)
-------------------------------------
This submodule fetches source code from an
`NPM shrinkwrap <https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-shrinkwrap>`__
description file, which lists the dependencies
of an NPM package while locking their versions.
The format for the :term:`SRC_URI` setting must be::
SRC_URI = "npmsw://some.registry.url;OptionA=xxx;OptionB=xxx;..."
This fetcher supports the following parameters:
- *"dev":* Set this parameter to ``1`` to install "devDependencies".
- *"destsuffix":* Specifies the directory to use to unpack the dependencies
(``${S}`` by default).
Note that the shrinkwrap file can also be provided by the recipe for
the package which has such dependencies, for example::
SRC_URI = " \
npm://registry.npmjs.org/;package=cute-files;version=${PV} \
npmsw://${THISDIR}/${BPN}/npm-shrinkwrap.json \
"
Such a file can automatically be generated using
:yocto_docs:`devtool <https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/devtool-reference.html>`
as described in the :yocto_docs:`Creating Node Package Manager (NPM) Packages
</dev-manual/common-tasks.html#creating-node-package-manager-npm-packages>`
section of the Yocto Project.
