Specifying 'publishConfig' in package.json

Use case: Building AWS CDK JSII construct and publishing to company internal Artifactory repository.

It would be good to have a possibility to specify this in package.json:

  "publishConfig": {
    "registry": "https://company.com/api/npm/company-local/"
  },

Wanted to leave a note (based on convo in cdk.dev Slack). This is achievable (though not “native”) currently. You can do something like:

...
project.addFields({
  'publishConfig': { "registry": "https://<ARTIFACT_DOMAIN_NAME>-<ACCOUNT_ID>.d.codeartifact.<REGION>.amazonaws.com/npm/<ARTIFACT_EPOSITORY_NAME>/" }
})

project.synth();

You’ll have to also add an environment variable for the NPM registry. It’s easy in codebuild. For GitHub you’ll have to do something with the actions

I use this for working with AWS CodeCommit. Also tested (but I don’t have an example) with GitHub. Sources / examples:

In our environments, the developers are instructed to configure their .npmrc with something like this registry = https://companyartifactory.com/api/npm/company-npm-general.

The build environment we are using has a set of NPM credentials that would allow publishing to the internal repository as long as the publishConfig property would be in place.
