npm-config(3) -- Manage the npm configuration files
===================================================

## SYNOPSIS

    npm.commands.config(args, callback)
    var val = npm.config.get(key)
    npm.config.set(key, val)

## DESCRIPTION

This function acts much the same way as the command-line version.  The first
element in the array tells config what to do. Possible values are:

* `set`

    Sets a config parameter.  The second element in `args` is interpreted as the
    key, and the third element is interpreted as the value.

* `get`

    Gets the value of a config parameter. The second element in `args` is the
    key to get the value of.

* `delete` (`rm` or `del`)

    Deletes a parameter from the config. The second element in `args` is the
    key to delete.

* `list` (`ls`)

    Show all configs that aren't secret. No parameters necessary.

* `edit`:

    Opens the config file in the default editor. This command isn't very useful
    programmatically, but it is made available.

To programmatically access npm configuration settings, or set them for
the duration of a program, use the `npm.config.set` and `npm.config.get`
functions instead.
