New Features

Filter plugin for packages by @mlucool

Verdaccio now support plugin filters, we are just starting with filter metadata.

It gets a current copy of a package metadata and may choose to modify it as required. For example, this may be used to block a bad version of a package or add a time delay from when new packages can be used from your registry. Errors in a filter will cause a 404, similar to upLinkErrors as it is not safe to recover gracefully from them.

The configuration would looks like

filters:
  storage-filter-blackwhitelist:
    filter_file: /path/to/file

The current API for the plugin is

interface IPluginStorageFilter<T> extends IPlugin<T> {
  filter_metadata(packageInfo: Package): Promise<Package>;
}

This system might be extended in the future, we are trying this approach at this stage.

Now, Verdaccio is able to understand JSON format for configuration files.
