npm-deprecate

This command will update the npm registry entry for a package, providing a deprecation warning to all who attempt to install it.

It works on version ranges https://semver.npmjs.com/ as well as specific versions, so you can do something like this:

npm deprecate my-thing@"< 0.2.3" "critical bug fixed in v0.2.3"

SemVer ranges passed to this command are interpreted such that they do include prerelease versions. For example:

npm deprecate my-thing@1.x "1.x is no longer supported"

In this case, a version my-thing@1.0.0-beta.0 will also be deprecated.

You must be the package owner to deprecate something. See the owner and adduser help topics.

To un-deprecate a package, specify an empty string ("") for the message argument. Note that you must use double quotes with no space between them to format an empty string.

The base URL of the npm registry. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

This is a one-time password from a two-factor authenticator. It's needed when publishing or changing package permissions with npm access.

If not set, and a registry response fails with a challenge for a one-time password, npm will prompt on the command line for one. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
