Description

Adds important documentation clarifying that custom configuration keys in .npmrc files should use hyphens instead of underscores to ensure they can be overridden by environment variables.

Changes

  • Added a note explaining the naming convention for .npmrc keys
  • Clarified that keys with underscores cannot be overridden by environment variables
  • Explained that npm converts underscores to hyphens when reading environment variables

Fixes

Closes#6036

Rationale

Users were confused because environment variables use underscores (npm_config_some_thing) but if you define 'some_thing' in .npmrc, it can't be overridden. This happens because npm converts underscores to hyphens when reading env vars, so the env var becomes 'some-thing' but the .npmrc key remains 'some_thing'. By using hyphens in .npmrc files, both will resolve to the same key.

Description
Adds important documentation clarifying that custom configuration keys in .npmrc files should use hyphens instead of underscores to ensure they can be overridden by environment variables.
Changes
  • Added a note explaining the naming convention for .npmrc keys
  • Clarified that keys with underscores cannot be overridden by environment variables
  • Explained that npm converts underscores to hyphens when reading environment variables
Fixes
Closes#6036
Rationale
Users were confused because environment variables use underscores (npm_config_some_thing) but if you define 'some_thing' in .npmrc, it can't be overridden. This happens because npm converts underscores to hyphens when reading env vars, so the env var becomes 'some-thing' but the .npmrc key remains 'some_thing'. By using hyphens in .npmrc files, both will resolve to the same key.
Type of Change
  •  Documentation update
