Verdaccio Config

Merge the below options with your existing Verdaccio config:

middlewares:
  google-oauth-ui:
    enabled: true

auth:
  google-oauth-ui:
    client-id: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
    client-secret: GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
    domain: GOOGLE_DOMAIN

• The configured values can either be the actual value or the name of an environment variable that contains the value.
• The config props can be specified under either the middlewares or the auth node. Just make sure, the addon is included under both nodes.

domain

Users within this domain will be able to authenticate.

client-id and client-secret

These values can be obtained from Google credentials page https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials.

Proxy Config

If you are behind a proxy server, the plugin needs to know the proxy server in order to make Google requests.

Configure the below environment variable.

$ export GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8080

See the global-agent docs for detailed configuration instructions.

Login

Verdaccio UI

• Click the login button and get redirected to Google.
• Authorize the registry for your user
• When completed, you'll be redirected back to the Verdaccio registry.

You are now logged in.

Command Line

Option A) Use the built-in CLI

The easiest way to configure npm is to use this short command:

$ npx verdaccio-google-oauth-ui --registry http://localhost:4873

Option B) Copy commands from the UI

• Verdaccio 4:

Open the "Register Info" dialog and klick "Copy to clipboard":

• Verdaccio 3:

Select the text in the header and copy it. In case the text is too long, you can double-click it. The invisible part will still be selected and copied.

• Run the copied commands on your terminal:

$ npm config set //localhost:4873:_authToken "SECRET_TOKEN"
$ npm config set //localhost:4873:always-auth true

• Verify npm is set up correctly by running the whoami command. Example:

$ npm whoami --registry http://localhost:4873
n4bb12

If you see your Google username, you are ready to start installing and publishing packages.

Logout

Verdaccio UI

Click the Logout button as per usual.

Command Line

Unless OAuth access is revoked in the Google settings, the token is valid indefinitely.
