How to set an .npmrc file to tell npm install to download all the dependencies from https://registry.npmjs.org but only a specific one from a corporate Artifactory under https://artifactory.corporation.io/artifactory/npm/ that needs authentication using ?
We can configure https://registry.npmjs.org as a remote repository(test-npm-remote) in Artifactory. If you have any packages which were developed locally can be deployed to the local(test-npm-local) repository. We can create a virtual repository that consists of local and remote repositories and pull the npm artifacts using the virtual repository(test-npm). You can find more details in the below link. https://jfrog.com/screencast/setting-up-an-npm-registry-with-jfrog-artifactory-in-less-than-one-minute/
