Ionic Appflow

You can use private Capawesome npm packages within your Ionic Appflow builds by configuring the Capawesome npm registry. This guide shows you how to set up authentication to access the private packages from the Capawesome Insiders program.

Preparation

Create an Ionic Appflow Environment Variable

Get your license key and add it to your Ionic Appflow environment as an encrypted secret with the name CAPAWESOME_NPM_REGISTRY_TOKEN as described in Using private npm modules.

Keep your license key secure

Never commit your license key directly to your repository and always use environment variables to store sensitive information like authentication tokens.

Configuration

Configure the npm registry

Create a new file named .npmrc in the root of your project and add the following content:

@capawesome-team:registry=https://npm.registry.capawesome.io
//npm.registry.capawesome.io/:_authToken=${CAPAWESOME_NPM_REGISTRY_TOKEN}

This file will automatically configure npm to use the Capawesome registry for @capawesome-team packages during Ionic Appflow builds.
