Question
Private NPM repository credentials on DO App platform

Asked by Goncalo Mestre
I have a JS React app deployed on DO app platform.
I have a private repository as a dependency.
In my local setup, I do the following to authenticate:
npm set registry https://npm.FOO.com npm adduser --registry https://npm.FOO.com
When I deploy it fails to install the package due to missing authentication.
I would like to know how to add the credentials or the authentication token so that it authenticates when I deploy on the DO app platform.
Thank you for the support

Hi there,
I believe that you can define a
NPM_TOKENenvironment variable with your private repo token.That should allow you to authenticate as normal.
There are a few more ways of defining your token as described here:

Let me know how it goes!
