Storage Plugin

What's a storage plugin?

Verdaccio by default uses a file system storage plugin local-storage. The default storage can be easily replaced, either using a community plugin or creating one by your own.

API

Storage plugins are composed of two objects, the IPluginStorage<T> and the IPackageStorage.

  • The IPluginStorage object handle the local database for private packages.
interface IPluginStorage<T> extends IPlugin<T>, ITokenActions {
logger: Logger;
config: T & Config;
add(name: string, callback: Callback): void;
remove(name: string, callback: Callback): void;
get(callback: Callback): void;
getSecret(): Promise<string>;
setSecret(secret: string): Promise<any>;
getPackageStorage(packageInfo: string): IPackageStorage;
search(
onPackage: onSearchPackage,
onEnd: onEndSearchPackage,
validateName: onValidatePackage
): void;
}
  • The IPackageStorage is an object that is created by each request that handles the I/O actions for the metadata and tarballs.
interface IPackageStorage {
logger: Logger;
writeTarball(pkgName: string): IUploadTarball;
readTarball(pkgName: string): IReadTarball;
readPackage(fileName: string, callback: ReadPackageCallback): void;
createPackage(pkgName: string, value: Package, cb: CallbackAction): void;
deletePackage(fileName: string, callback: CallbackAction): void;
removePackage(callback: CallbackAction): void;
updatePackage(
pkgFileName: string,
updateHandler: StorageUpdateCallback,
onWrite: StorageWriteCallback,
transformPackage: PackageTransformer,
onEnd: CallbackAction
): void;
savePackage(fileName: string, json: Package, callback: CallbackAction): void;
}
