What is the node repository equivalent of artifactory for maven?

Question

We'd like to use Node on our build server but would prefer to archive modules in a repository. (As we do with maven and artifactory.)

My question is: What is the node repository equivalent of artifactory for maven?

Answer 1

Artifactory also support hosting NPM repositories. Artifactory support for npm provides:

1. The ability to provision npm packages from Artifactory to the npm command line tool from all repository types
2. Calculation of Metadata for npm packages hosted in Artifactory's local repositories
3. Access to remote npm registries (such as https://registry.npmjs.org) through Remote Repositories which provide the usual proxy and caching functionality
4. The ability to access multiple npm registries from a single URL by aggregating them under a Virtual Repository. This overcomes the limitation of the npm client which can only access a single registry at a time.
5. Compatibility with the npm command line tool to deploy and remove packages and more.
6. Support for flexible npm repository layouts that allow you to organize your npm packages and assign access privileges according to projects or development teams.

A good article at : https://blog.theodo.com/2016/01/speed-up-npm-install-with-a-nexus-proxy-to-cache-packages/

It mention the Nexus can do it. There is a free and open source version of Nexus Repository at https://www.sonatype.com/download-oss-sonatype. It can support Maven, NPM and many other repositories types.
