Nodejs sets Taobao mirror

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime tool built on the Chrome V8 engine for building highly scalable web applications. Developers using Node.js often need to download many development dependencies from the Internet, such as modules of the package manager npm, etc. However, downloading these development dependencies in China often encounters network restrictions, resulting in extremely slow download speeds, or even fail.

In order to solve this problem, the domestic Taobao mirror launched the npm mirror to speed up the download speed of npm packages. In this article, we will introduce the process of setting up Node.js to use Taobao mirror for development.

1. Check the current mirror source

First we need to check the mirror source currently used by Node.js. Enter the following command on the command line:

npm config get registry

This command will return the mirror source address currently used by Node.js. If it is the default official mirror source, the following result will be returned:

https://registry.npmjs.org/

2 .Use Taobao mirror

To use Taobao mirror, we need to switch the address of the npm registry from the default official mirror source to the Taobao source. The command is as follows:

npm config set registry https://registry.npm.taobao.org

This command changes the registry address to the Taobao mirror source. You can enjoy faster download speeds by using the Taobao source.

3. Restore the default mirror source

If you want to switch back to the official mirror source during use, just execute the following command:

npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/

This command will npm The registry address is changed to the default official mirror source.

Summary

Node.js uses Taobao mirror source to speed up the download speed of dependent packages, improve development efficiency, and avoid download failures caused by network restrictions. This article introduces how to switch Node.js to Taobao mirror source and how to switch back to the official mirror source. I hope it will be helpful to readers.
