### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm completion
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
|
|
|
|
### 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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.
