Is there any way to configure multiple registries in a single npmrc file

Question

Here is my problem. We have a private NPM registry which only works in VPN. I would like to have a fallback registry https://registry.npmjs.org so that when I am out of VPN

Answer 1

Some steps you can try. (its how we do it at my workplace)

• Create a registry group with two (or more) repository source address. One would be your internal private and the other a proxy to npmjs giving priority to the internal one.
• Make this group your registry in the .npmrc file. This way npm will always try to get it from the internal one, if not found get it from the proxy

Hope that helps.
