npm-search(3) -- Search for packages
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
npm.commands.search(searchTerms, [silent,] [staleness,] callback)
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Search the registry for packages matching the search terms. The available parameters are:
|
|
|
|
* searchTerms:
|
|
Array of search terms. These terms are case-insensitive.
|
|
* silent:
|
|
If true, npm will not log anything to the console.
|
|
* staleness:
|
|
This is the threshold for stale packages. "Fresh" packages are not refreshed
|
|
from the registry. This value is measured in seconds.
|
|
* callback:
|
|
Returns an object where each key is the name of a package, and the value
|
|
is information about that package along with a 'words' property, which is
|
|
a space-delimited string of all of the interesting words in that package.
|
|
The only properties included are those that are searched, which generally include:
|
|
|
|
* name
|
|
* description
|
|
* maintainers
|
|
* url
|
|
* keywords
|
|
|
|
A search on the registry excludes any result that does not match all of the
|
|
search terms. It also removes any items from the results that contain an
|
|
excluded term (the "searchexclude" config). The search is case insensitive
|
|
and doesn't try to read your mind (it doesn't do any verb tense matching or the
|
|
like).
