Settings (pnpm-workspace.yaml)

pnpm gets its configuration from the command line, environment variables, pnpm-workspace.yaml, and .npmrc files.

The pnpm config command can be used to read and edit the contents of the project and global configuration files.

The relevant configuration files are:

  • Per-project configuration file: /path/to/my/project/pnpm-workspace.yaml
  • Global configuration file: ~/.config/pnpm/rc (an INI-formatted list of key = value parameters)
note

Authorization-related settings are handled by npm's configuration system. So, pnpm config set registry=<value> will actually save the setting to npm's global configuration file.

Values in the configuration files may contain env variables using the ${NAME} syntax. Las variables env también se pueden especificar con valores predeterminados. Using ${NAME-fallback} will return fallback if NAME isn't set. ${NAME:-fallback} will return fallback if NAME isn't set, or is an empty string.

Dependency Resolution​

overrides​

This field allows you to instruct pnpm to override any dependency in the dependency graph. This is useful for enforcing all your packages to use a single version of a dependency, backporting a fix, replacing a dependency with a fork, or removing an unused dependency.

Note that the overrides field can only be set at the root of the project.

An example of the overrides field:

overrides:
  "foo": "^1.0.0"
  "quux": "npm:@myorg/quux@^1.0.0"
  "bar@^2.1.0": "3.0.0"
  "qar@1>zoo": "2"

You may specify the package the overridden dependency belongs to by separating the package selector from the dependency selector with a ">", for example qar@1>zoo will only override the zoo dependency of qar@1, not for any other dependencies.

Una anulación se puede definir como una referencia a la especificación de una dependencia directa. This is achieved by prefixing the name of the dependency with a $:

package.json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "foo": "^1.0.0"
  }
}
pnpm-workspace.yaml
overrides:
  foo: "$foo"

The referenced package does not need to match the overridden one:

pnpm-workspace.yaml
overrides:
  bar: "$foo"

If you find that your use of a certain package doesn't require one of its dependencies, you may use - to remove it. For example, if package foo@1.0.0 requires a large package named bar for a function that you don't use, removing it could reduce install time:

overrides:
  "foo@1.0.0>bar": "-"

This feature is especially useful with optionalDependencies, where most optional packages can be safely skipped.

packageExtensions​

The packageExtensions fields offer a way to extend the existing package definitions with additional information. For example, if react-redux should have react-dom in its peerDependencies but it has not, it is possible to patch react-redux using packageExtensions:

packageExtensions:
  react-redux:
    peerDependencies:
      react-dom: "*"

The keys in packageExtensions are package names or package names and semver ranges, so it is possible to patch only some versions of a package:

packageExtensions:
  react-redux@1:
    peerDependencies:
      react-dom: "*"

The following fields may be extended using packageExtensions: dependencies, optionalDependencies, peerDependencies, and peerDependenciesMeta.

A bigger example:

packageExtensions:
  express@1:
    optionalDependencies:
      typescript: "2"
  fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin:
    dependencies:
      "@babel/core": "1"
    peerDependencies:
      eslint: ">= 6"
    peerDependenciesMeta:
      eslint: {
        optional: true
tip

Together with Yarn, we maintain a database of packageExtensions to patch broken packages in the ecosystem. If you use packageExtensions, consider sending a PR upstream and contributing your extension to the @yarnpkg/extensions database.

allowedDeprecatedVersions​

This setting allows muting deprecation warnings of specific packages.

Ejemplo:

allowedDeprecatedVersions:
  express: "1"
  request: "*"

With the above configuration pnpm will not print deprecation warnings about any version of request and about v1 of express.

updateConfig​

updateConfig.ignoreDependencies​

Sometimes you can't update a dependency. For instance, the latest version of the dependency started to use ESM but your project is not yet in ESM. Annoyingly, such a package will be always printed out by the pnpm outdated command and updated, when running pnpm update --latest. However, you may list packages that you don't want to upgrade in the ignoreDependencies field:

updateConfig:
  ignoreDependencies:
  - load-json-file

Patterns are also supported, so you may ignore any packages from a scope: @babel/*.

supportedArchitectures​

You can specify architectures for which you'd like to install optional dependencies, even if they don't match the architecture of the system running the install.

For example, the following configuration tells to install optional dependencies for Windows x64:

supportedArchitectures:
  os:
  - win32
  cpu:
  - x64

Whereas this configuration will install optional dependencies for Windows, macOS, and the architecture of the system currently running the install. It includes artifacts for both x64 and arm64 CPUs:

supportedArchitectures:
  os:
  - win32
  - darwin
  - current
  cpu:
  - x64
  - arm64

Additionally, supportedArchitectures also supports specifying the libc of the system.

ignoredOptionalDependencies​

If an optional dependency has its name included in this array, it will be skipped. Por ejemplo:

ignoredOptionalDependencies:
- fsevents
- "@esbuild/*"

Configuración de elevación de dependencia​

hoist​

  • Default: true
  • Type: boolean

When true, all dependencies are hoisted to node_modules/.pnpm/node_modules. This makes unlisted dependencies accessible to all packages inside node_modules.

hoistWorkspacePackages​

  • Default: true
  • Type: boolean

When true, packages from the workspaces are symlinked to either <workspace_root>/node_modules/.pnpm/node_modules or to <workspace_root>/node_modules depending on other hoisting settings (hoistPattern and publicHoistPattern).

hoistPattern​

  • Default: ['*']
  • Type: string[]

Tells pnpm which packages should be hoisted to node_modules/.pnpm/node_modules. De predeterminada, todos los paquetes se elevan; sin embargo, si sabe que solo algunos paquetes tienen dependencias fantasmas, puede usar esta opción para elevar las dependencias fantasmas (recomendado).

Por ejemplo:

hoistPattern:
- "*eslint*"
- "*babel*"

You may also exclude patterns from hoisting using !.

Por ejemplo:

hoistPattern:
- "*types*"
- "!@types/react"

publicHoistPattern​

  • Default: []
  • Type: string[]

Unlike hoistPattern, which hoists dependencies to a hidden modules directory inside the virtual store, publicHoistPattern hoists dependencies matching the pattern to the root modules directory. Elevar al directorio de módulos raíz significa que el código de la aplicación tendrá acceso a las dependencias fantasma, incluso si modifican la estrategia de resolución de manera incorrecta.

Esta configuración es útil cuando se trata de algunas herramientas conectables defectuosas que resuelven las dependencias correctamente.

Por ejemplo:

publicHoistPattern:
- "*plugin*"

Note: Setting shamefullyHoist to true is the same as setting publicHoistPattern to *.

You may also exclude patterns from hoisting using !.

Por ejemplo:

publicHoistPattern:
- "*types*"
- "!@types/react"

shamefullyHoist​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

By default, pnpm creates a semistrict node_modules, meaning dependencies have access to undeclared dependencies but modules outside of node_modules do not. Con este diseño, la mayoría de los paquetes del ecosistema funcionan sin problemas. However, if some tooling only works when the hoisted dependencies are in the root of node_modules, you can set this to true to hoist them for you.

Configuración de Node-Modules​

modulesDir​

  • Default: node_modules
  • Type: path

The directory in which dependencies will be installed (instead of node_modules).

nodeLinker​

  • Default: isolated
  • Type: isolated, hoisted, pnp

Define qué enlazador debe usarse para instalar paquetes de Node.

  • isolated - dependencies are symlinked from a virtual store at node_modules/.pnpm.
  • hoisted - a flat node_modules without symlinks is created. Same as the node_modules created by npm or Yarn Classic. Una de las bibliotecas de Yarn se usa para elevar, cuando se usa esta configuración. Razones legítimas para usar esta configuración:
    1. Su herramienta no funciona bien con enlaces simbólicos. A React Native project will most probably only work if you use a hoisted node_modules.
    2. Su proyecto se implementa en un proveedor de alojamiento sin servidor. Algunos proveedores sin servidor (por ejemplo, AWS Lambda) no admiten enlaces simbólicos. Una solución alternativa para este problema es empaquetar la aplicación antes del despliegue.
    3. If you want to publish your package with "bundledDependencies".
    4. If you are running Node.js with the --preserve-symlinks flag.
  • pnp - no node_modules. Plug'n'Play is an innovative strategy for Node that is used by Yarn Berry. It is recommended to also set symlink setting to false when using pnp as your linker.
  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

When symlink is set to false, pnpm creates a virtual store directory without any symlinks. It is a useful setting together with nodeLinker=pnp.

enableModulesDir​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

When false, pnpm will not write any files to the modules directory (node_modules). This is useful for when the modules directory is mounted with filesystem in userspace (FUSE). There is an experimental CLI that allows you to mount a modules directory with FUSE: @pnpm/mount-modules.

virtualStoreDir​

  • Default: node_modules/.pnpm
  • Types: path

El directorio con enlaces a la tienda. Todas las dependencias directas e indirectas del proyecto están vinculadas a este directorio.

Esta es una configuración útil que puede resolver problemas con rutas largas en Windows. If you have some dependencies with very long paths, you can select a virtual store in the root of your drive (for instance C:\my-project-store).

Or you can set the virtual store to .pnpm and add it to .gitignore. Este hará que los seguimientos de pila sean más limpios, ya que las rutas a las dependencias estarán un directorio más arriba.

NOTE: the virtual store cannot be shared between several projects. Cada proyecto debe tener su propio alamcenamiento virtual (excepto en los espacios de trabajo donde se comparte la raíz).

virtualStoreDirMaxLength​

  • Por defecto
    • On Linux/macOS: 120
    • On Windows: 60
  • Types: number

Sets the maximum allowed length of directory names inside the virtual store directory (node_modules/.pnpm). You may set this to a lower number if you encounter long path issues on Windows.

packageImportMethod​

  • Default: auto
  • Type: auto, hardlink, copy, clone, clone-or-copy

Controls the way packages are imported from the store (if you want to disable symlinks inside node_modules, then you need to change the nodeLinker setting, not this one).

  • auto - try to clone packages from the store. Si no se admite la clonación entonces vincula los paquetes del almacenamiento. Si ni la clonación ni la vinculación son posibles, vuelva a copiar
  • hardlink - hard link packages from the store
  • clone-or-copy - try to clone packages from the store. Si no se admite la clonación, vuelva a copiar
  • copy - copy packages from the store
  • clone - clone (AKA copy-on-write or reference link) packages from the store

La clonación es la mejor manera de escribir paquetes en node_modules. Es la forma más rápida y segura. Cuando se usa la clonación, puede editar archivos en sus node_modules y no se modificarán en el almacenamiento central de contenido direccionable.

Desafortunadamente, no todos los sistemas de archivos admiten la clonación. Recomendamos utilizar un sistema de archivos de copia en escritura (CoW) (por ejemplo, Btrfs en lugar de Ext4 en Linux) para obtener la mejor experiencia con pnpm.

modulesCacheMaxAge​

  • Default: 10080 (7 days in minutes)
  • Type: number

El tiempo en minutos después del cual se deben eliminar los paquetes huérfanos del directorio de módulos. pnpm mantiene un caché de paquetes en el directorio de módulos. Esto aumenta la velocidad de instalación al cambiar de o degradar dependencias.

dlxCacheMaxAge​

  • Default: 1440 (1 day in minutes)
  • Type: number

The time in minutes after which dlx cache expires. After executing a dlx command, pnpm keeps a cache that omits the installation step for subsequent calls to the same dlx command.

Store Settings​

storeDir​

  • Por defecto
    • If the $PNPM_HOME env variable is set, then $PNPM_HOME/store
    • If the $XDG_DATA_HOME env variable is set, then $XDG_DATA_HOME/pnpm/store
    • On Windows: ~/AppData/Local/pnpm/store
    • On macOS: ~/Library/pnpm/store
    • On Linux: ~/.local/share/pnpm/store
  • Type: path

La ubicación donde se guardan todos los paquetes en el disco.

El almacenamiento debe estar siempre en el mismo disco en el que se realiza la instalación, Así que habrá un almacenamiento por disco. Si hay un directorio de inicio en el disco actual, el almacenamiento se crea dentro de él. Si no hay un hogar en el disco,, entonces el almacenamiento se crea en la raíz del sistema de archivos. For example, if installation is happening on a filesystem mounted at /mnt, then the store will be created at /mnt/.pnpm-store. Lo mismo ocurre con los sistemas Windows.

Es posible configurar un almacenamiento desde un disco diferente, pero en ese caso, pnpm copiará los paquetes del almacenamiento en lugar de vincularlos, ya que los enlaces físicos son posibles en el mismo sistema de archivos.

verifyStoreIntegrity​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

By default, if a file in the store has been modified, the content of this file is checked before linking it to a project's node_modules. If verifyStoreIntegrity is set to false, files in the content-addressable store will not be checked during installation.

useRunningStoreServer​

danger

Deprecated feature

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Solo permite la instalación con un servidor de almacenamiento. Si no se está ejecutando ningún servidor de almacenamiento, instalación fallará.

strictStorePkgContentCheck​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

Some registries allow the exact same content to be published under different package names and/or versions. This breaks the validity checks of packages in the store. To avoid errors when verifying the names and versions of such packages in the store, you may set the strictStorePkgContentCheck setting to false.

Configuración de Lockfile​

lockfile​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

When set to false, pnpm won't read or generate a pnpm-lock.yaml file.

preferFrozenLockfile​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

When set to true and the available pnpm-lock.yaml satisfies the package.json dependencies directive, a headless installation is performed. A headless installation skips all dependency resolution as it does not need to modify the lockfile.

lockfileIncludeTarballUrl​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Add the full URL to the package's tarball to every entry in pnpm-lock.yaml.

gitBranchLockfile​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

When set to true, the generated lockfile name after installation will be named based on the current branch name to completely avoid merge conflicts. For example, if the current branch name is feature-foo, the corresponding lockfile name will be pnpm-lock.feature-foo.yaml instead of pnpm-lock.yaml. It is typically used in conjunction with the command line argument --merge-git-branch-lockfiles or by setting mergeGitBranchLockfilesBranchPattern in the pnpm-workspace.yaml file.

mergeGitBranchLockfilesBranchPattern​

  • Default: null
  • Type: Array or null

This configuration matches the current branch name to determine whether to merge all git branch lockfile files. By default, you need to manually pass the --merge-git-branch-lockfiles command line parameter. This configuration allows this process to be automatically completed.

Por ejemplo:

mergeGitBranchLockfilesBranchPattern:
- main
- release*

You may also exclude patterns using !.

peersSuffixMaxLength​

  • Default: 1000
  • Type: number

Max length of the peer IDs suffix added to dependency keys in the lockfile. If the suffix is longer, it is replaced with a hash.

Registry & Authentication Settings​

registry​

The base URL of the npm package registry (trailing slash included).

<scope>:registry​

The npm registry that should be used for packages of the specified scope. For example, setting @babel:registry=https://example.com/packages/npm/ will enforce that when you use pnpm add @babel/core, or any @babel scoped package, the package will be fetched from https://example.com/packages/npm instead of the default registry.

<URL>:_authToken​

Define the authentication bearer token to use when accessing the specified registry. Por ejemplo:

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

You may also use an environment variable. Por ejemplo:

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}

Or you may just use an environment variable directly, without changing .npmrc at all:

npm_config_//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

<URL>:tokenHelper​

A token helper is an executable which outputs an auth token. This can be used in situations where the authToken is not a constant value but is something that refreshes regularly, where a script or other tool can use an existing refresh token to obtain a new access token.

The configuration for the path to the helper must be an absolute path, with no arguments. In order to be secure, it is only permitted to set this value in the user .npmrc. Otherwise a project could place a value in a project's local .npmrc and run arbitrary executables.

Setting a token helper for the default registry:

tokenHelper=/home/ivan/token-generator

Setting a token helper for the specified registry:

//registry.corp.com:tokenHelper=/home/ivan/token-generator

Ajustes de Solicitud​

ca​

  • Default: The npm CA certificate
  • Type: String, Array or null

El certificado de firma de la autoridad de certificación en el que se confía para las conexiones SSL con el registro. Los valores deben estar en formato PEM (también conocido como "X.509 codificado en Base-64 (.CER)"). Por ejemplo:

ca="-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nXXXX\nXXXX\n-----END CERTIFICATE-----"

Se establece en nulo para permitir sólo a los registradores conocidos, o a un certificado de CA específico para confiar en sólo la autorización de firma específica.

Se puede confiar en varias CA especificando una arreglo de certificados:

ca[]="..."
ca[]="..."

See also the strict-ssl config.

cafile​

  • Default: null
  • Type: path

Una ruta a un archivo que contiene uno o varios certificados de firma de autoridad de certificación. Similar to the ca setting, but allows for multiple CAs, as well as for the CA information to be stored in a file instead of being specified via CLI.

<URL>:cafile​

Define the path to a Certificate Authority file to use when accessing the specified registry. Por ejemplo:

//registry.npmjs.org/:cafile=ca-cert.pem

cert​

  • Default: null
  • Type: String

Un certificado de cliente para pasar al acceder al registro. Los valores deben estar en formato PEM (también conocido como "X.509 codificado en Base-64 (.CER)"). Por ejemplo:

cert="-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nXXXX\nXXXX\n-----END CERTIFICATE-----"

It is not the path to a certificate file.

<URL>:certfile​

Define the path to a certificate file to use when accessing the specified registry. Por ejemplo:

//registry.npmjs.org/:certfile=server-cert.pem

key​

  • Default: null
  • Type: String

Una clave de cliente para pasar al acceder al registro. Los valores deben estar en formato PEM (también conocido como "X.509 codificado en Base-64 (.CER)"). Por ejemplo:

key="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nXXXX\nXXXX\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----"

It is not the path to a key file (and there is no keyfile option).

Esta configuración contiene información confidencial. Don't write it to a local .npmrc file committed to the repository.

<URL>:keyfile​

Define the path to a client key file to use when accessing the specified registry. Por ejemplo:

//registry.npmjs.org/:keyfile=server-key.pem

gitShallowHosts​

  • Default: ['github.com', 'gist.github.com', 'gitlab.com', 'bitbucket.com', 'bitbucket.org']
  • Type: string[]

Al obtener dependencias que son repositorios de Git, si el host aparece en esta configuración, pnpm usará una clonación superficial para obtener solo la confirmación necesaria, no todo el historial.

https-proxy​

  • Default: null
  • Type: url

Un proxy para usar con solicitudes HTTPS salientes. If the HTTPS_PROXY, https_proxy, HTTP_PROXY or http_proxy environment variables are set, their values will be used instead.

If your proxy URL contains a username and password, make sure to URL-encode them. Por ejemplo:

https-proxy=https://use%21r:pas%2As@my.proxy:1234/foo

Do not encode the colon (:) between the username and password.

http-proxy​

proxy​

  • Default: null
  • Type: url

Un proxy para usar con solicitudes http salientes. Si se establecen las variables de entorno HTTP_PROXY o http_proxy, la biblioteca de solicitud subyacente respetará la configuración del proxy.

local-address​

  • Default: undefined
  • Type: IP Address

La dirección IP de la interfaz local que se usará al realizar conexiones con el registro npm.

maxsockets​

  • Default: networkConcurrency x 3
  • Type: Number

El número máximo de conexiones a usar por origen (combinación de protocolo/host/puerto).

noproxy​

  • Default: null
  • Type: String

Una cadena de extensiones de dominio separadas por comas para las que no se debe usar un proxy.

strict-ssl​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

Si realizar o no la validación de la clave SSL al realizar solicitudes al registro a través de HTTPS.

See also the ca option.

networkConcurrency​

  • Default: 16
  • Type: Number

Controla el número máximo de solicitudes HTTP(S) para procesar simultáneamente.

fetchRetries​

  • Default: 2
  • Type: Number

Cuántas veces se debe volver a intentar si pnpm no se obtiene del registro.

fetchRetryFactor​

  • Default: 10
  • Type: Number

El factor exponencial para el retroceso de reintento.

fetchRetryMintimeout​

  • Default: 10000 (10 seconds)
  • Type: Number

El tiempo de espera mínimo (base) para reintentar solicitudes.

fetchRetryMaxtimeout​

  • Default: 60000 (1 minute)
  • Type: Number

El tiempo de espera de reserva máximo para garantizar que el factor de reintento no haga que las solicitudes sean demasiado largas.

fetchTimeout​

  • Default: 60000 (1 minute)
  • Type: Number

La cantidad máxima de tiempo de espera para que se completen las solicitudes HTTP.

Peer Dependency Settings​

autoInstallPeers​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

When true, any missing non-optional peer dependencies are automatically installed.

Version Conflicts​

If there are conflicting version requirements for a peer dependency from different packages, pnpm will not install any version of the conflicting peer dependency automatically. Instead, a warning is printed. For example, if one dependency requires react@^16.0.0 and another requires react@^17.0.0, these requirements conflict, and no automatic installation will occur.

Conflict Resolution​

In case of a version conflict, you'll need to evaluate which version of the peer dependency to install yourself, or update the dependencies to align their peer dependency requirements.

dedupePeerDependents​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

When this setting is set to true, packages with peer dependencies will be deduplicated after peers resolution.

For instance, let's say we have a workspace with two projects and both of them have webpack in their dependencies. webpack has esbuild in its optional peer dependencies, and one of the projects has esbuild in its dependencies. In this case, pnpm will link two instances of webpack to the node_modules/.pnpm directory: one with esbuild and another one without it:

node_modules
  .pnpm
    webpack@1.0.0_esbuild@1.0.0
    webpack@1.0.0
project1
  node_modules
    webpack -> ../../node_modules/.pnpm/webpack@1.0.0/node_modules/webpack
project2
  node_modules
    webpack -> ../../node_modules/.pnpm/webpack@1.0.0_esbuild@1.0.0/node_modules/webpack
    esbuild

This makes sense because webpack is used in two projects, and one of the projects doesn't have esbuild, so the two projects cannot share the same instance of webpack. However, this is not what most developers expect, especially since in a hoisted node_modules, there would only be one instance of webpack. Therefore, you may now use the dedupePeerDependents setting to deduplicate webpack when it has no conflicting peer dependencies (explanation at the end). In this case, if we set dedupePeerDependents to true, both projects will use the same webpack instance, which is the one that has esbuild resolved:

node_modules
  .pnpm
    webpack@1.0.0_esbuild@1.0.0
project1
  node_modules
    webpack -> ../../node_modules/.pnpm/webpack@1.0.0_esbuild@1.0.0/node_modules/webpack
project2
  node_modules
    webpack -> ../../node_modules/.pnpm/webpack@1.0.0_esbuild@1.0.0/node_modules/webpack
    esbuild

What are conflicting peer dependencies? By conflicting peer dependencies we mean a scenario like the following one:

node_modules
  .pnpm
    webpack@1.0.0_react@16.0.0_esbuild@1.0.0
    webpack@1.0.0_react@17.0.0
project1
  node_modules
    webpack -> ../../node_modules/.pnpm/webpack@1.0.0/node_modules/webpack
    react (v17)
project2
  node_modules
    webpack -> ../../node_modules/.pnpm/webpack@1.0.0_esbuild@1.0.0/node_modules/webpack
    esbuild
    react (v16)

In this case, we cannot dedupe webpack as webpack has react in its peer dependencies and react is resolved from two different versions in the context of the two projects.

strictPeerDependencies​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Si está habilitado, los comandos fallarán si falta una dependencia del par o no es válida en el árbol.

resolvePeersFromWorkspaceRoot​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

Cuando está habilitado, las dependencias del proyecto del espacio de trabajo raíz se utilizan para resolver las dependencias de pares de cualquier proyecto en el espacio de trabajo. Es una característica útil, ya que puede instalar las dependencias del mismo nivel solo en la raíz del área de trabajo y puede estar seguro de que todos los proyectos del área de trabajo utilizan las mismas versiones de las dependencias del mismo nivel.

peerDependencyRules​

peerDependencyRules.ignoreMissing​

pnpm will not print warnings about missing peer dependencies from this list.

For instance, with the following configuration, pnpm will not print warnings if a dependency needs react but react is not installed:

peerDependencyRules:
  ignoreMissing:
  - react

Package name patterns may also be used:

peerDependencyRules:
  ignoreMissing:
  - "@babel/*"
  - "@eslint/*"

peerDependencyRules.allowedVersions​

Unmet peer dependency warnings will not be printed for peer dependencies of the specified range.

For instance, if you have some dependencies that need react@16 but you know that they work fine with react@17, then you may use the following configuration:

peerDependencyRules:
  allowedVersions:
    react: "17"

This will tell pnpm that any dependency that has react in its peer dependencies should allow react v17 to be installed.

It is also possible to suppress the warnings only for peer dependencies of specific packages. For instance, with the following configuration react v17 will be only allowed when it is in the peer dependencies of the button v2 package or in the dependencies of any card package:

peerDependencyRules:
  allowedVersions:
    "button@2>react": "17",
    "card>react": "17"

peerDependencyRules.allowAny​

allowAny is an array of package name patterns, any peer dependency matching the pattern will be resolved from any version, regardless of the range specified in peerDependencies. Por ejemplo:

peerDependencyRules:
  allowAny:
  - "@babel/*"
  - "eslint"

The above setting will mute any warnings about peer dependency version mismatches related to @babel/ packages or eslint.

Configuración de CLI​

[no-]color​

  • Default: auto
  • Type: auto, always, never

Controla los colores en la salida.

  • auto - output uses colors when the standard output is a terminal or TTY.
  • always - ignore the difference between terminals and pipes. You’ll rarely want this; in most scenarios, if you want color codes in your redirected output, you can instead pass a --color flag to the pnpm command to force it to use color codes. The default setting is almost always what you’ll want.
  • never - turns off colors. This is the setting used by --no-color.

loglevel​

  • Default: info
  • Type: debug, info, warn, error

Any logs at or higher than the given level will be shown. You can instead pass --silent to turn off all output logs.

useBetaCli​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Experimental option that enables beta features of the CLI. This means that you may get some changes to the CLI functionality that are breaking changes, or potentially bugs.

recursiveInstall​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

If this is enabled, the primary behaviour of pnpm install becomes that of pnpm install -r, meaning the install is performed on all workspace or subdirectory packages.

Else, pnpm install will exclusively build the package in the current directory.

engineStrict​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

If this is enabled, pnpm will not install any package that claims to not be compatible with the current Node version.

Regardless of this configuration, installation will always fail if a project (not a dependency) specifies an incompatible version in its engines field.

npmPath​

  • Type: path

The location of the npm binary that pnpm uses for some actions, like publishing.

packageManagerStrict​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

If this setting is disabled, pnpm will not fail if a different package manager is specified in the packageManager field of package.json. When enabled, only the package name is checked (since pnpm v9.2.0), so you can still run any version of pnpm regardless of the version specified in the packageManager field.

Alternatively, you can disable this setting by setting the COREPACK_ENABLE_STRICT environment variable to 0.

packageManagerStrictVersion​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

When enabled, pnpm will fail if its version doesn't exactly match the version specified in the packageManager field of package.json.

managePackageManagerVersions​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

When enabled, pnpm will automatically download and run the version of pnpm specified in the packageManager field of package.json. This is the same field used by Corepack. Ejemplo:

{
  "packageManager": "pnpm@9.3.0"
}

Configuración de compilación​

ignoreScripts​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Do not execute any scripts defined in the project package.json and its dependencies.

note

This flag does not prevent the execution of .pnpmfile.cjs

ignoreDepScripts​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Do not execute any scripts of the installed packages. Scripts of the projects are executed.

note

Since v10, pnpm doesn't run the lifecycle scripts of dependencies unless they are listed in onlyBuiltDependencies.

childConcurrency​

  • Default: 5
  • Type: Number

The maximum number of child processes to allocate simultaneously to build node_modules.

sideEffectsCache​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

Use and cache the results of (pre/post)install hooks.

When a pre/post install script modify the contents of a package (e.g. build output), pnpm saves the modified package in the global store. On future installs on the same machine, pnpm reuses this cached, prebuilt version—making installs significantly faster.

note

You may want to disable this setting if:

  1. The install scripts modify files outside the package directory (pnpm cannot track or cache these changes).
  2. The scripts perform side effects that are unrelated to building the package.

sideEffectsCacheReadonly​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Only use the side effects cache if present, do not create it for new packages.

unsafePerm​

  • Default: false IF running as root, ELSE true
  • Type: Boolean

Set to true to enable UID/GID switching when running package scripts. If set explicitly to false, then installing as a non-root user will fail.

nodeOptions​

  • Default: NULL
  • Type: String

Options to pass through to Node.js via the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable. This does not impact how pnpm itself is executed but it does impact how lifecycle scripts are called.

verifyDepsBeforeRun​

  • Default: false
  • Type: install, warn, error, prompt, false

This setting allows the checking of the state of dependencies before running scripts. The check runs on pnpm run and pnpm exec commands. The following values are supported:

  • install - Automatically runs install if node_modules is not up to date.
  • warn - Prints a warning if node_modules is not up to date.
  • prompt - Prompts the user for permission to run install if node_modules is not up to date.
  • error - Throws an error if node_modules is not up to date.
  • false - Disables dependency checks.

strictDepBuilds​

Added in: v10.3.0

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

When strictDepBuilds is enabled, the installation will exit with a non-zero exit code if any dependencies have unreviewed build scripts (aka postinstall scripts).

neverBuiltDependencies​

This field allows to ignore the builds of specific dependencies. The "preinstall", "install", and "postinstall" scripts of the listed packages will not be executed during installation.

An example of the neverBuiltDependencies field:

neverBuiltDependencies:
- fsevents
- level

onlyBuiltDependencies​

A list of package names that are allowed to be executed during installation. Only packages listed in this array will be able to run install scripts. If onlyBuiltDependenciesFile and neverBuiltDependencies are not set, this configuration option will default to blocking all install scripts.

Ejemplo:

onlyBuiltDependencies:
- fsevents

onlyBuiltDependenciesFile​

This configuration option allows users to specify a JSON file that lists the only packages permitted to run installation scripts during the pnpm install process. By using this, you can enhance security or ensure that only specific dependencies execute scripts during installation.

Ejemplo:

configDependencies:
  '@pnpm/trusted-deps': 0.1.0+sha512-IERT0uXPBnSZGsCmoSuPzYNWhXWWnKkuc9q78KzLdmDWJhnrmvc7N4qaHJmaNKIusdCH2riO3iE34Osohj6n8w==
onlyBuiltDependenciesFile: node_modules/.pnpm-config/@pnpm/trusted-deps/allow.json

The JSON file itself should contain an array of package names:

node_modules/.pnpm-config/@pnpm/trusted-deps/allow.json
[
  "@airbnb/node-memwatch",
  "@apollo/protobufjs",
  ...
]

ignoredBuiltDependencies​

Added in: v10.1.0

A list of package names that should not be built during installation.

Ejemplo:

ignoredBuiltDependencies:
- fsevents

dangerouslyAllowAllBuilds​

Added in: v10.9.0

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

If set to true, all build scripts (e.g. preinstall, install, postinstall) from dependencies will run automatically, without requiring approval.

warning

This setting allows all dependencies—including transitive ones—to run install scripts, both now and in the future. Even if your current dependency graph appears safe:

  • Future updates may introduce new, untrusted dependencies.
  • Existing packages may add scripts in later versions.
  • Packages can be hijacked or compromised and begin executing malicious code.

For maximum safety, only enable this if you’re fully aware of the risks and trust the entire ecosystem you’re pulling from. It’s recommended to review and allow builds explicitly.

Node.js Settings​

useNodeVersion​

  • Default: undefined
  • Type: semver

Specifies which exact Node.js version should be used for the project's runtime. pnpm will automatically install the specified version of Node.js and use it for running pnpm run commands or the pnpm node command.

This may be used instead of .nvmrc and nvm. Instead of the following .nvmrc file:

16.16.0

Use this pnpm-workspace.yaml file:

useNodeVersion: 16.16.0

This setting works only in a pnpm-workspace.yaml file that is in the root of your workspace. If you need to specify a custom Node.js for a project in the workspace, use the executionEnv.nodeVersion field of package.json instead.

nodeVersion​

  • Default: the value returned by node -v, without the v prefix
  • Type: semver

The Node.js version to use when checking a package's engines setting.

If you want to prevent contributors of your project from adding new incompatible dependencies, use nodeVersion and engineStrict in a pnpm-workspace.yaml file at the root of the project:

nodeVersion: 12.22.0
engineStrict: true

De esta manera, incluso si alguien usa Node.js v16, no podrá instalar una nueva dependencia que no admita Node.js v12.22.0.

node-mirror​

  • Default: https://nodejs.org/download/<releaseDir>/
  • Type: URL

Establece la URL base para descargar Node.js. The <releaseDir> portion of this setting can be any directory from https://nodejs.org/download: release, rc, nightly, v8-canary, etc.

Así es como se puede configurar pnpm para descargar Node.js desde el espejo de Node.js en China:

node-mirror:release=https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node/
node-mirror:rc=https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node-rc/
node-mirror:nightly=https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node-nightly/

executionEnv.nodeVersion​

Specifies which exact Node.js version should be used for the project's runtime. pnpm will automatically install the specified version of Node.js and use it for running pnpm run commands or the pnpm node command.

Por ejemplo:

executionEnv:
  nodeVersion: 16.16.0

Configuración del espacio de trabajo​

linkWorkspacePackages​

  • Default: false
  • Type: true, false, deep

If this is enabled, locally available packages are linked to node_modules instead of being downloaded from the registry. This is very convenient in a monorepo. If you need local packages to also be linked to subdependencies, you can use the deep setting.

Else, packages are downloaded and installed from the registry. However, workspace packages can still be linked by using the workspace: range protocol.

Packages are only linked if their versions satisfy the dependency ranges.

injectWorkspacePackages​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Enables hard-linking of all local workspace dependencies instead of symlinking them. Alternatively, this can be achieved using dependenciesMeta[].injected, which allows to selectively enable hard-linking for specific dependencies.

syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts​

Added in: v10.5.0

  • Default: undefined
  • Type: String[]

Injected workspace dependencies are collections of hardlinks, which don't add or remove the files when their sources change. This causes problems in packages that need to be built (such as in TypeScript projects).

This setting is a list of script names. When any of these scripts are executed in a workspace package, the injected dependencies inside node_modules will also be synchronized.

preferWorkspacePackages​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

If this is enabled, local packages from the workspace are preferred over packages from the registry, even if there is a newer version of the package in the registry.

This setting is only useful if the workspace doesn't use saveWorkspaceProtocol.

sharedWorkspaceLockfile​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

If this is enabled, pnpm creates a single pnpm-lock.yaml file in the root of the workspace. This also means that all dependencies of workspace packages will be in a single node_modules (and get symlinked to their package node_modules folder for Node's module resolution).

Advantages of this option:

  • cada dependencia es un singleton
  • instalaciones más rápidas en un monorepo
  • menos cambios en las revisiones de código, ya que están todos en un solo archivo
note

Even though all the dependencies will be hard linked into the root node_modules, packages will have access only to those dependencies that are declared in their package.json, so pnpm's strictness is preserved. This is a result of the aforementioned symbolic linking.

saveWorkspaceProtocol​

  • Default: rolling
  • Type: true, false, rolling

This setting controls how dependencies that are linked from the workspace are added to package.json.

If foo@1.0.0 is in the workspace and you run pnpm add foo in another project of the workspace, below is how foo will be added to the dependencies field. The savePrefix setting also influences how the spec is created.

saveWorkspaceProtocolsavePrefixespecificaciones
false''1.0.0
false'~'~1.0.0
false'^'^1.0.0
true''workspace:1.0.0
true'~'workspace:~1.0.0
true'^'workspace:^1.0.0
rolling''workspace:*
rolling'~'workspace:~
rolling'^'workspace:^

includeWorkspaceRoot​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Al ejecutar comandos recursivamente en un espacio de trabajo, ejecútelos también en el proyecto del espacio de trabajo raíz.

ignoreWorkspaceCycles​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

When set to true, no workspace cycle warnings will be printed.

disallowWorkspaceCycles​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

When set to true, installation will fail if the workspace has cycles.

Deploy Settings​

forceLegacyDeploy​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

By default, pnpm deploy will try creating a dedicated lockfile from a shared lockfile for deployment. If this setting is set to true, the legacy deploy behavior will be used.

Patching Dependencies​

patchedDependencies​

This field is added/updated automatically when you run pnpm patch-commit. It defines patches for dependencies using a dictionary where:

  • Keys: Package names with an exact version, a version range, or just the name.
  • Values: Relative paths to patch files.

Ejemplo:

patchedDependencies:
  express@4.18.1: patches/express@4.18.1.patch

Dependencies can be patched by version range. The priority order is:

  1. Exact versions (highest priority)
  2. Version ranges
  3. Name-only patches (applies to all versions unless overridden)

A special case: the version range * behaves like a name-only patch but does not ignore patch failures.

Exampe:

patchedDependencies:
  foo: patches/foo-1.patch
  foo@^2.0.0: patches/foo-2.patch
  foo@2.1.0: patches/foo-3.patch
  • patches/foo-3.patch is applied to foo@2.1.0.
  • patches/foo-2.patch applies to all foo versions matching ^2.0.0, except 2.1.0.
  • patches/foo-1.patch applies to all other foo versions.

Avoid overlapping version ranges. If you need to specialize a sub-range, explicitly exclude it from the broader range.

Ejemplo:

patchedDependencies:
  # Specialized sub-range
  "foo@2.2.0-2.8.0": patches/foo.2.2.0-2.8.0.patch
  # General patch, excluding the sub-range above
  "foo@>=2.0.0 <2.2.0 || >2.8.0": patches/foo.gte2.patch

In most cases, defining an exact version is enough to override a broader range.

allowUnusedPatches​

Added in: v10.7.0 (Previously named allowNonAppliedPatches)

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

When true, installation won't fail if some of the patches from the patchedDependencies field were not applied.

patchedDependencies:
  express@4.18.1: patches/express@4.18.1.patch
allowUnusedPatches: true

ignorePatchFailures​

Added in: v10.7.0

  • Default: undefined
  • Type: Boolean, undefined

Controls how patch failures are handled.

Behaviour:

  • undefined (default):
    • Errors out when a patch with an exact version or version range fails.
    • Ignores failures from name-only patches.
  • false: Errors out for any patch failure.
  • true: Prints a warning instead of failing when any patch cannot be applied.

Audit Settings​

auditConfig​

auditConfig.ignoreCves​

A list of CVE IDs that will be ignored by the pnpm audit command.

auditConfig:
  ignoreCves:
    CVE-2022-36313

auditConfig.ignoreGhsas​

A list of GHSA Codes that will be ignored by the pnpm audit command.

auditConfig:
  ignoreGhsas:
    GHSA-42xw-2xvc-qx8m
    GHSA-4w2v-q235-vp99
    GHSA-cph5-m8f7-6c5x
    GHSA-vh95-rmgr-6w4m

Otros ajustes​

savePrefix​

  • Default: '^'
  • Type: '^', '~', ''

Configure how versions of packages installed to a package.json file get prefixed.

For example, if a package has version 1.2.3, by default its version is set to ^1.2.3 which allows minor upgrades for that package, but after pnpm config set save-prefix='~' it would be set to ~1.2.3 which only allows patch upgrades.

Esta configuración se ignora cuando el paquete agregado tiene un rango especificado. For instance, pnpm add foo@2 will set the version of foo in package.json to 2, regardless of the value of savePrefix.

tag​

  • Default: latest
  • Type: String

If you pnpm add a package and you don't provide a specific version, then it will install the package at the version registered under the tag from this setting.

This also sets the tag that is added to the package@version specified by the pnpm tag command if no explicit tag is given.

globalDir​

  • Por defecto
    • If the $XDG_DATA_HOME env variable is set, then $XDG_DATA_HOME/pnpm/global
    • On Windows: ~/AppData/Local/pnpm/global
    • On macOS: ~/Library/pnpm/global
    • On Linux: ~/.local/share/pnpm/global
  • Type: path

Especifique un directorio personalizado para almacenar paquetes globales.

globalBinDir​

  • Por defecto
    • If the $XDG_DATA_HOME env variable is set, then $XDG_DATA_HOME/pnpm
    • On Windows: ~/AppData/Local/pnpm
    • On macOS: ~/Library/pnpm
    • On Linux: ~/.local/share/pnpm
  • Type: path

Permite establecer el directorio de destino para los archivos bin de los paquetes instalados globalmente.

stateDir​

  • Por defecto
    • If the $XDG_STATE_HOME env variable is set, then $XDG_STATE_HOME/pnpm
    • On Windows: ~/AppData/Local/pnpm-state
    • On macOS: ~/.pnpm-state
    • On Linux: ~/.local/state/pnpm
  • Type: path

The directory where pnpm creates the pnpm-state.json file that is currently used only by the update checker.

cacheDir​

  • Por defecto
    • If the $XDG_CACHE_HOME env variable is set, then $XDG_CACHE_HOME/pnpm
    • On Windows: ~/AppData/Local/pnpm-cache
    • On macOS: ~/Library/Caches/pnpm
    • On Linux: ~/.cache/pnpm
  • Type: path

The location of the cache (package metadata and dlx).

useStderr​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Cuando es verdadero, toda la salida se escribe en stderr.

updateNotifier​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

Set to false to suppress the update notification when using an older version of pnpm than the latest.

preferSymlinkedExecutables​

  • Default: true, when node-linker is set to hoisted and the system is POSIX
  • Type: Boolean

Create symlinks to executables in node_modules/.bin instead of command shims. Esta configuración se ignora en Windows, donde solo funcionan las correcciones de compatibilidad de comandos.

ignoreCompatibilityDb​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Durante la instalación, las dependencias de algunos paquetes se parchean automáticamente. If you want to disable this, set this config to false.

The patches are applied from Yarn's @yarnpkg/extensions package.

resolutionMode​

  • Default: highest (was lowest-direct from v8.0.0 to v8.6.12)
  • Type: highest, time-based, lowest-direct

When resolutionMode is set to time-based, dependencies will be resolved the following way:

  1. Las dependencias directas se resolverán a sus versiones más bajas. So if there is foo@^1.1.0 in the dependencies, then 1.1.0 will be installed.
  2. Las subdependencias se resolverán a partir de versiones que se publicaron antes de que se publicara la última dependencia directa.

Con este modo de resolución, las instalaciones con caché caliente son más rápidas. También reduce la posibilidad de secuestro de subdependencias, ya que las subdependencias se actualizarán solo si se actualizan las dependencias directas.

This resolution mode works only with npm's full metadata. Por lo tanto, es más lento en algunos escenarios. However, if you use Verdaccio v5.15.1 or newer, you may set the registrySupportsTimeField setting to true, and it will be really fast.

When resolutionMode is set to lowest-direct, direct dependencies will be resolved to their lowest versions.

registrySupportsTimeField​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Set this to true if the registry that you are using returns the "time" field in the abbreviated metadata. As of now, only Verdaccio from v5.15.1 supports this.

extendNodePath​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

When false, the NODE_PATH environment variable is not set in the command shims.

deployAllFiles​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

When deploying a package or installing a local package, all files of the package are copied. By default, if the package has a "files" field in the package.json, then only the listed files and directories are copied.

dedupeDirectDeps​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

When set to true, dependencies that are already symlinked to the root node_modules directory of the workspace will not be symlinked to subproject node_modules directories.

dedupeInjectedDeps​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

When this setting is enabled, dependencies that are injected will be symlinked from the workspace whenever possible. If the dependent project and the injected dependency reference the same peer dependencies, then it is not necessary to physically copy the injected dependency into the dependent's node_modules; a symlink is sufficient.

optimisticRepeatInstall​

Added in: v10.1.0

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

When enabled, a fast check will be performed before proceeding to installation. This way a repeat install or an install on a project with everything up-to-date becomes a lot faster.

requiredScripts​

Scripts listed in this array will be required in each project of the workspace. Otherwise, pnpm -r run <script name> will fail.

requiredScripts:
- build
