Functions

function defineConfig

defineConfig: (config: RcOptions) => RcOptions;

  • TypeScript helper for .npmrc config file. Similar to vite and eslint's defineConfig helper

function run

run: (
    runOptions?: RunOptions,
    { cli }?: { cli?: boolean }
) => Promise<PackageFile | Index<VersionSpec> | void>;

  • Main entry point.

    Returns

    Promise< PackageFile Default returns upgraded package file. | Index --jsonUpgraded returns only upgraded dependencies. | void --global upgrade returns void. >

function run_2

run_2: (
    runOptions?: RunOptions,
    { cli }?: { cli?: boolean }
) => Promise<PackageFile | Index<VersionSpec> | void>;

  • Main entry point.

    Returns

    Promise< PackageFile Default returns upgraded package file. | Index --jsonUpgraded returns only upgraded dependencies. | void --global upgrade returns void. >
