dev-plugins	Developing Plugins

There are many ways to extend verdaccio, currently we support authentication plugins, middleware plugins (since v2.7.0) and storage plugins since (v3.x).

Authentication Plugins

This section will describe how it looks like a Verdaccio plugin in a ES5 way. Basically we have to return an object with a single method called authenticate that will recieve 3 arguments (user, password, callback). Once the authentication has been executed there is 2 options to give a response to verdaccio.

API

function authenticate (user, password, callback) {
 ...more stuff
}

OnError

Either something bad happened or auth was unsuccessful.

callback(null, false)

OnSuccess

The auth was successful.

groups is an array of strings where the user is part of.

 callback(null, groups);

Example

function Auth(config, stuff) {
  var self = Object.create(Auth.prototype);
  self._users = {};

  // config for this module
  self._config = config;

  // verdaccio logger
  self._logger = stuff.logger;

  // pass verdaccio logger to ldapauth
  self._config.client_options.log = stuff.logger;

  return self;
}

Auth.prototype.authenticate = function (user, password, callback) {
  var LdapClient = new LdapAuth(self._config.client_options);
  ....
  LdapClient.authenticate(user, password, function (err, ldapUser) {
    ...
    var groups;
     ...
    callback(null, groups);
  });
};

module.exports = Auth;

And the setup

auth:
  htpasswd:
    file: ./htpasswd

Where htpasswd is the sufix of the plugin name. eg: verdaccio-htpasswd and the rest of the body would be the plugin configuration params.

Middleware Integration

Middleware plugins have the capability to modify the API layer, either adding new endpoints or intercepting requests. A pretty good example of middleware plugin is the (sinopia-github-oauth)[https://github.com/soundtrackyourbrand/sinopia-github-oauth]) compatible with verdaccio.

API

function register_middlewares(expressApp, auth, storage) {
   ...more stuff
}

To register a middleware we need an object with a single method called register_middlewares that will recieve 3 arguments (expressApp, auth, storage). Auth is the authentification instance and storage is also the main Storage instance that will give you have access to all to the storage actions.

Storage Plugins

Since verdaccio@3.x we also can plug a custom storage.

API

The storage API is a bit more complex, you will need to create a class that return a ILocalData implementation. Please see details bellow.

<br />class LocalDatabase<ILocalData>{
    constructor(config: Config, logger: Logger): ILocalData;
}

interface ILocalData {
  add(name: string): SyncReturn;
  remove(name: string): SyncReturn;
  get(): StorageList;
  getPackageStorage(packageInfo: string): IPackageStorage;
  sync(): ?SyncReturn;
}

interface ILocalPackageManager {
  writeTarball(name: string): IUploadTarball;
  readTarball(name: string): IReadTarball;
  readPackage(fileName: string, callback: Callback): void;
  createPackage(name: string, value: any, cb: Callback): void;
  deletePackage(fileName: string, callback: Callback): void;
  removePackage(callback: Callback): void;
  updatePackage(pkgFileName: string,
                updateHandler: Callback,
                onWrite: Callback,
                transformPackage: Function,
                onEnd: Callback): void;
  savePackage(fileName: string, json: Package, callback: Callback): void;
}

interface IUploadTarball extends stream$PassThrough {
  abort(): void;
  done(): void;
}

interface IReadTarball extends stream$PassThrough {
  abort(): void;
  done(): void;
}

This API still is experimental and might change next minor versions. The default LocalStorage plugin it comes built-in in verdaccio and it is being loaded if any storage plugin has been defined.
