If I have the same package name in Nexus private repo as it is in the npm publish repo, which one takes priority when I install?

I am setting up nexus npm repository, and created npm-group = npm-private+npm-registry (proxy to npm offical registry).

It comes to me thinking that if I publish my own package and name it say "jest" to my private repo, what happens if I do npm install jest? Does it take the private fake one or the one published in official site?

Thanks

You need to use scopes for your private packages. You prefix them with @yournamespace (for instance: "name": "@yournamespace/jest"), and you adjust your npmrc accordingly:

; Set a new registry for a scoped package
@yournamespace:registry=https://mycustomregistry.example.org

Using this scheme, you could use separate npm repositories, one for the proxy to the official npmjs repo, and one for your private packages.

Otherwise, if you override a package name, it will shadow the one that is proxified, so you will fetch your private package instead of the official one.
