Tab Completion for npm
source <(npm completion)
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
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.
