153<h3 id="description">Description</h3>
154<p>This command tries to guess at the likely location of a package's
155documentation URL, and then tries to open it using the
156<a href="../using-npm/config#browser.html"><code>--browser</code> config</a> param. You can pass multiple
157package names at once. If no package name is provided, it will search for a
158<code>package.json</code> in the current folder and use the <code>name</code> property.</p>
159<h3 id="configuration">Configuration</h3>
160<h4 id="browser"><code>browser</code></h4>
161<ul>
162<li>Default: OS X: <code>"open"</code>, Windows: <code>"start"</code>, Others: <code>"xdg-open"</code></li>
163<li>Type: null, Boolean, or String</li>
164</ul>
165<p>The browser that is called by npm commands to open websites.</p>
166<p>Set to <code>false</code> to suppress browser behavior and instead print urls to
167terminal.</p>
168<p>Set to <code>true</code> to use default system URL opener.</p>
169<h4 id="registry"><code>registry</code></h4>
170<ul>
171<li>Default: "<a href="https://registry.npmjs.org/">https://registry.npmjs.org/</a>"</li>
172<li>Type: URL</li>
173</ul>
174<p>The base URL of the npm registry.</p>
175<h4 id="workspace"><code>workspace</code></h4>
176<ul>
177<li>Default:</li>
178<li>Type: String (can be set multiple times)</li>
179</ul>
180<p>Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
181current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
182this configuration option.</p>
183<p>Valid values for the <code>workspace</code> config are either:</p>
184<ul>
185<li>Workspace names</li>
186<li>Path to a workspace directory</li>
187<li>Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
188workspaces within that folder)</li>
189</ul>
190<p>When set for the <code>npm init</code> command, this may be set to the folder of a
191workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
192brand new workspace within the project.</p>
193<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
194<h4 id="workspaces"><code>workspaces</code></h4>
195<ul>
196<li>Default: null</li>
197<li>Type: null or Boolean</li>
198</ul>
199<p>Set to true to run the command in the context of <strong>all</strong> configured
200workspaces.</p>
201<p>Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like <code>install</code> to
202ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:</p>
203<ul>
204<li>Commands that operate on the <code>node_modules</code> tree (install, update, etc.)
205will link workspaces into the <code>node_modules</code> folder. - Commands that do
206other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
207<em>unless</em> one or more workspaces are specified in the <code>workspace</code> config.</li>
208</ul>
209<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
210<h4 id="include-workspace-root"><code>include-workspace-root</code></h4>
211<ul>
212<li>Default: false</li>
213<li>Type: Boolean</li>
214</ul>
215<p>Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.</p>
216<p>When false, specifying individual workspaces via the <code>workspace</code> config, or
217all workspaces via the <code>workspaces</code> flag, will cause npm to operate only on
218the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.</p>
219<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
