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. 환경 변수의 기본값을 지정할 수도 있습니다. 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.

An override may be defined as a reference to a direct dependency's spec. 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.

예시:

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. 예시:

ignoredOptionalDependencies:
- fsevents
- "@esbuild/*"

의존성 호이스팅 설정​

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. 기본적으로 모든 패키지는 호이스팅됩니다, 하지만 유령 의존성을 갖는 잘못된 패키지를 알고 있다면 이 옵션을 이용해 유령 의존성을 호이스팅할 수 있습니다. (권장)

예를 들어:

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

You may also exclude patterns from hoisting using !.

예를 들어:

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. 루트 모듈 디렉토리에 대한 호이스팅은 애플리케이션 코드가 해결 전략을 부적절하게 수정하더라도 유령 의존성에 액세스할 수 있음을 의미합니다.

이 설정은 의존성을 제대로 해결하지 못하는 일부 결함이 있는 플러그형 도구를 처리할 때 유용합니다.

예를 들어:

publicHoistPattern:
- "*plugin*"

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

You may also exclude patterns from hoisting using !.

예를 들어:

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. 이 레이아웃을 사용하면 생태계의 대부분의 패키지가 문제 없이 작동합니다. 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.

Node-Modules 설정​

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

노드 패키지 설치에 사용해야 하는 링커를 정의합니다.

  • 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. 이 설정을 사용하면 Yarn의 라이브러리 중 하나가 호이스팅에 사용됩니다. 이 설정을 사용해야 하는 정당한 이유:
    1. 여러분의 도구가 심볼릭 링크와 잘 작동하지 않습니다. A React Native project will most probably only work if you use a hoisted node_modules.
    2. 여러분의 프로젝트가 서버리스 호스팅 제공업체에 배포됩니다. 일부 서버리스 공급자 (예: AWS Lambda)는 심볼릭 링크를 지원하지 않습니다. 이 문제에 대한 대안 솔루션은 배포 전에 애플리케이션을 번들로 묶는 것입니다.
    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). 이것은 모듈 디렉토리가 사용자 공간 (FUSE) 의 파일 시스템으로 마운트될 때 유용합니다. 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

저장소에 대한 링크가 있는 디렉토리입니다. 프로젝트의 모든 직접 및 간접 의존성이 이 디렉토리에 연결됩니다.

이것은 Windows에서 긴 경로 문제를 해결할 수 있는 유용한 설정입니다. 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. 이렇게 하면 의존성 경로가 한 디렉토리 더 높기 때문에 스택 트레이스를 더 깔끔하게 만들 수 있습니다.

NOTE: the virtual store cannot be shared between several projects. 모든 프로젝트에는 자체 가상 저장소가 있어야 합니다(루트가 공유되는 워크스페이스 제외).

virtualStoreDirMaxLength​

  • 기본값:
    • 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. 복제가 지원되지 않으면 저장소에서 패키지를 하드링크합니다. 복제도, 연결도 불가능하면 복사로 대체합니다.
  • hardlink - hard link packages from the store
  • clone-or-copy - try to clone packages from the store. 복제가 지원되지 않으면 복사로 대체합니다.
  • copy - copy packages from the store
  • clone - clone (AKA copy-on-write or reference link) packages from the store

node_modules에 패키지를 작성할 때 복제가 가장 좋은 방법입니다. 가장 빠르고 안전한 방법입니다. 복제를 사용하면 node_modules에서 파일을 편집할 수 있으며, 이는 중앙 content-addressable 저장소에서 수정되지 않습니다.

불행히도 모든 파일 시스템이 복제를 지원하는 것은 아닙니다. 최고의 pnpm 경험을 위해 CoW(Copy-On-Write) 파일 시스템(예: Linux에서 Ext4 대신 Btrfs)을 사용하는 것이 좋습니다.

modulesCacheMaxAge​

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

모듈 디렉토리에서 고아 패키지를 제거해야 하는 시간(분)입니다. pnpm은 모듈 디렉토리에 패키지 캐시를 유지합니다. 이렇게 하면 브랜치를 전환하거나 의존성을 다운그레이드할 때 설치 속도가 향상됩니다.

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​

  • 기본값:
    • 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

모든 패키지가 저장되는 디스크 위치입니다.

저장소는 항상 설치가 발생하는 동일한 디스크에 있어야 합니다. 따라서 디스크당 하나의 저장소가 있도록 합니다. 현재 디스크에 홈 디렉토리가 있으면, 그 안에 저장소가 생성됩니다. 디스크에 홈이 없으면 파일 시스템의 루트에서 저장소가 생성됩니다. For example, if installation is happening on a filesystem mounted at /mnt, then the store will be created at /mnt/.pnpm-store. Windows 시스템도 마찬가지입니다.

다른 디스크에서 저장소를 설정할 수 있지만, 이 경우 pnpm은 하드 링크 대신 저장소에서 패키지를 복사합니다. 하드 링크는 동일한 파일 시스템에서만 가능하기 때문입니다.

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

Only allows installation with a store server. If no store server is running, installation will fail.

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.

Lockfile 설정​

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

이 설정은 현재 분기 이름을 확인하여 모든 깃 브랜치의 lockfile을 병합할지 여부를 결정합니다. By default, you need to manually pass the --merge-git-branch-lockfiles command line parameter. 이 구성을 사용하면 이 프로세스가 자동으로 완료됩니다.

예를 들어:

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. 예시:

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

You may also use an environment variable. 예시:

//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

Request Settings​

ca​

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

레지스트리에 대한 SSL 연결을 위해 신뢰되는 인증 기관 서명 인증서입니다. Values should be in PEM format (AKA "Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER)"). 예시:

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

Set to null to only allow known registrars, or to a specific CA cert to trust only that specific signing authority.

Multiple CAs can be trusted by specifying an array of certificates:

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

See also the strict-ssl config.

cafile​

  • Default: null
  • Type: path

A path to a file containing one or multiple Certificate Authority signing certificates. 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. 예시:

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

cert​

  • Default: null
  • Type: String

A client certificate to pass when accessing the registry. Values should be in PEM format (AKA "Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER)"). 예시:

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. 예시:

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

key​

  • Default: null
  • Type: String

A client key to pass when accessing the registry. Values should be in PEM format (AKA "Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER)"). 예시:

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).

This setting contains sensitive information. 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. 예시:

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

gitShallowHosts​

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

When fetching dependencies that are Git repositories, if the host is listed in this setting, pnpm will use shallow cloning to fetch only the needed commit, not all the history.

https-proxy​

  • Default: null
  • Type: url

A proxy to use for outgoing HTTPS requests. 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. 예를 들어:

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

A proxy to use for outgoing http requests. If the HTTP_PROXY or http_proxy environment variables are set, proxy settings will be honored by the underlying request library.

local-address​

  • Default: undefined
  • Type: IP Address

The IP address of the local interface to use when making connections to the npm registry.

maxsockets​

  • Default: networkConcurrency x 3
  • Type: Number

The maximum number of connections to use per origin (protocol/host/port combination).

noproxy​

  • Default: null
  • Type: String

A comma-separated string of domain extensions that a proxy should not be used for.

strict-ssl​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

Whether or not to do SSL key validation when making requests to the registry via HTTPS.

See also the ca option.

networkConcurrency​

  • Default: 16
  • Type: Number

Controls the maximum number of HTTP(S) requests to process simultaneously.

fetchRetries​

  • Default: 2
  • Type: Number

How many times to retry if pnpm fails to fetch from the registry.

fetchRetryFactor​

  • Default: 10
  • Type: Number

The exponential factor for retry backoff.

fetchRetryMintimeout​

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

The minimum (base) timeout for retrying requests.

fetchRetryMaxtimeout​

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

The maximum fallback timeout to ensure the retry factor does not make requests too long.

fetchTimeout​

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

The maximum amount of time to wait for HTTP requests to complete.

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

If this is enabled, commands will fail if there is a missing or invalid peer dependency in the tree.

resolvePeersFromWorkspaceRoot​

  • Default: true
  • Type: Boolean

When enabled, dependencies of the root workspace project are used to resolve peer dependencies of any projects in the workspace. It is a useful feature as you can install your peer dependencies only in the root of the workspace, and you can be sure that all projects in the workspace use the same versions of the peer dependencies.

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. 예를 들어:

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

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

CLI Settings​

[no-]color​

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

Controls colors in the output.

  • 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. 예시:

{
  "packageManager": "pnpm@9.3.0"
}

빌드 설정​

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.

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.

예시:

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.

예시:

configDependencies:
  "@my-org/policy": 1.0.0+sha512-30iZtAPgz+LTIYoeivqYo853f02jBYSd5uGnGpkFV0M3xOt9aN73erkgYAmZU43x4VfqcnLxW9Kpg3R5LC4YYw==
onlyBuiltDependenciesFile: node_modules/.pnpm-config/@my-org/policy/onlyBuiltDependencies.json

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

node_modules/@my-org/policy/onlyBuiltDependencies.json
[
  "fsevents"
]

ignoredBuiltDependencies​

Added in: v10.1.0

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

예시:

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

This way, even if someone is using Node.js v16, they will not be able to install a new dependency that doesn't support Node.js v12.22.0.

node-mirror​

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

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

Here is how pnpm may be configured to download Node.js from Node.js mirror in 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.

예시:

executionEnv:
  nodeVersion: 16.16.0

Workspace Settings​

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:

  • every dependency is a singleton
  • faster installations in a monorepo
  • fewer changes in code reviews as they are all in one file
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.

saveWorkspaceProtocolsavePrefixspec
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

When executing commands recursively in a workspace, execute them on the root workspace project as well.

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.

예시:

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.

예시:

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

Other Settings​

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.

This setting is ignored when the added package has a range specified. 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​

  • 기본값:
    • 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

Specify a custom directory to store global packages.

globalBinDir​

  • 기본값:
    • 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

Allows to set the target directory for the bin files of globally installed packages.

stateDir​

  • 기본값:
    • 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​

  • 기본값:
    • 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

When true, all the output is written to 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. This setting is ignored on Windows, where only command shims work.

ignoreCompatibilityDb​

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

During installation the dependencies of some packages are automatically patched. 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. Direct dependencies will be resolved to their lowest versions. So if there is foo@^1.1.0 in the dependencies, then 1.1.0 will be installed.
  2. Subdependencies will be resolved from versions that were published before the last direct dependency was published.

With this resolution mode installations with warm cache are faster. It also reduces the chance of subdependency hijacking as subdependencies will be updated only if direct dependencies are updated.

This resolution mode works only with npm's full metadata. So it is slower in some scenarios. 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
