Globally configure NPM with a token registry to a specific scope (@organisation)

I want to globally setup an NPM registry for a specific scope to be used with a specific token.

I know that I can use :

$ npm login --scope=@organisation

And I can also write a ~/.npmrc with :

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=XXXX

But what I want is a combinaison of the two methods: Using the token at when assigning the registry URL to my scope.

I tried :

npm config set @organisation:registry https://registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=XXXX

But when running an NPM command (eg npm install @organisation/my-package). I get the following error :

npm ERR! Darwin 15.6.0
npm ERR! argv "/Users/me/.nvm/versions/node/v6.2.2/bin/node" "/Users/me/.nvm/versions/node/v6.2.2/bin/npm" "install" "@organisation/my-package"
npm ERR! node v6.2.2
npm ERR! npm  v3.10.3
npm ERR! code E403
npm ERR! you do not have permission to publish ":_authToken=XXXX". Are you logged in as the correct user? : :_authToken=XXXX

Is there a solution? (I need to use a token and no env variable).

PS: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7995#issuecomment-175915766 but it's not working...

Looks like the npm syntax has changed. The answer above does not work anymore with NPM 10.2.4! Now an equal sign seems to be required, like this:

npm config set @myco:registry=https://reg.example.com

According to the official documentation you should be able to associate a scope with a registry when logging in. Is this what you want?

Did you try the following?

npm login --registry=https://reg.example.com --scope=@myco

If you dont want to login, but rather want to specify the token explicitly, the following should work:

npm config set @myco:registry https://reg.example.com
npm config set //reg.example.com/:_authToken xxxxxxxx

Note that the registry url must be normalized for this to work, ie it shouldn't include scheme and must end with a slash.
