NPM-COMPLETION(1) General Commands Manual NPM-COMPLETION(1)

NAME

npm-completion

Synopsis

<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->

Description

Enables tab-completion in all npm commands.

The synopsis above loads the completions into your current shell.
Adding it to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc will make the completions available everywhere:

npm completion >> ~/.bashrc
npm completion >> ~/.zshrc

You may of course also pipe the output of npm completion to a file such as /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/npm or
/etc/bash_completion.d/npm if you have a system that will read
that file for you.

When COMP_CWORD, COMP_LINE, and COMP_POINT are defined in the environment, npm completion acts in "plumbing mode", and outputs completions based on the arguments.
