[`pacote`](https://github.com/npm/pacote) is a Node.js library for downloading
[npm](https://npmjs.org)-compatible packages. It supports all package specifier
syntax that `npm install` and its ilk support. It transparently caches anything
needed to reduce excess operations, using [`cacache`](https://npm.im/cacache).
## Install
`$ npm install --save pacote`

### API
#### <a name="manifest"></a> `> pacote.manifest(spec, [opts])`
Fetches the *manifest* for a package. Manifest objects are similar and based
on the `package.json` for that package, but with pre-processed and limited
fields. The object has the following shape:
```javascript
{
"name": PkgName,
"version": SemverString,
"dependencies": { PkgName: SemverString },
"optionalDependencies": { PkgName: SemverString },
"devDependencies": { PkgName: SemverString },
"peerDependencies": { PkgName: SemverString },
"bundleDependencies": false || [PkgName],
"bin": { BinName: Path },
"_resolved": TarballSource, // different for each package type
"_integrity": SubresourceIntegrityHash,
"_shrinkwrap": null || ShrinkwrapJsonObj
}
```
Note that depending on the spec type, some additional fields might be present.
For example, packages from `registry.npmjs.org` have additional metadata
appended by the registry.
##### Example
```javascript
pacote.manifest('pacote@1.0.0').then(pkgJson => {
// fetched `package.json` data from the registry
})
```
#### <a name="packument"></a> `> pacote.packument(spec, [opts])`
Fetches the *packument* for a package. Packument objects are general metadata
about a project corresponding to registry metadata, and include version and
`dist-tag` information about a package's available versions, rather than a
specific version. It may include additional metadata not usually available
through the individual package metadata objects.
It generally looks something like this:
```javascript
{
"name": PkgName,
"dist-tags": {
'latest': VersionString,
[TagName]: VersionString,
...
},
"versions": {
[VersionString]: Manifest,
...
}
}
```
Note that depending on the spec type, some additional fields might be present.
For example, packages from `registry.npmjs.org` have additional metadata
appended by the registry.
##### Example
```javascript
pacote.packument('pacote').then(pkgJson => {
// fetched package versions metadata from the registry
})
```
#### <a name="extract"></a> `> pacote.extract(spec, destination, [opts])`
Extracts package data identified by `<spec>` into a directory named
`<destination>`, which will be created if it does not already exist.
If `opts.digest` is provided and the data it identifies is present in the cache,
`extract` will bypass most of its operations and go straight to extracting the
tarball.
##### Example
```javascript
pacote.extract('pacote@1.0.0', './woot', {
digest: 'deadbeef'
}).then(() => {
// Succeeds as long as `pacote@1.0.0` still exists somewhere. Network and
// other operations are bypassed entirely if `digest` is present in the cache.
})
```
#### <a name="tarball"></a> `> pacote.tarball(spec, [opts])`
Fetches package data identified by `<spec>` and returns the data as a buffer.
This API has two variants:
* `pacote.tarball.stream(spec, [opts])` - Same as `pacote.tarball`, except it returns a stream instead of a Promise.
* `pacote.tarball.toFile(spec, dest, [opts])` - Instead of returning data directly, data will be written directly to `dest`, and create any required directories along the way.
##### Example
```javascript
pacote.tarball('pacote@1.0.0', { cache: './my-cache' }).then(data => {
// data is the tarball data for pacote@1.0.0
})
```
#### <a name="tarball-stream"></a> `> pacote.tarball.stream(spec, [opts])`
Same as `pacote.tarball`, except it returns a stream instead of a Promise.
##### Example
```javascript
pacote.tarball.stream('pacote@1.0.0')
.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('./pacote-1.0.0.tgz'))
```
#### <a name="tarball-to-file"></a> `> pacote.tarball.toFile(spec, dest, [opts])`
Like `pacote.tarball`, but instead of returning data directly, data will be
written directly to `dest`, and create any required directories along the way.
##### Example
```javascript
pacote.tarball.toFile('pacote@1.0.0', './pacote-1.0.0.tgz')
.then(() => /* pacote tarball written directly to ./pacote-1.0.0.tgz */)
```
#### <a name="prefetch"></a> `> pacote.prefetch(spec, [opts])`
##### THIS API IS DEPRECATED. USE `pacote.tarball()` INSTEAD
Fetches package data identified by `<spec>`, usually for the purpose of warming
up the local package cache (with `opts.cache`). It does not return anything.
##### Example
```javascript
pacote.prefetch('pacote@1.0.0', { cache: './my-cache' }).then(() => {
// ./my-cache now has both the manifest and tarball for `pacote@1.0.0`.
})
```
#### <a name="clearMemoized"></a> `> pacote.clearMemoized()`
This utility function can be used to force pacote to release its references
to any memoized data in its various internal caches. It might help free
some memory.
```javascript
pacote.manifest(...).then(() => pacote.clearMemoized)
```
#### <a name="options"></a> `> options`
`pacote` accepts [the options for
`npm-registry-fetch`](https://npm.im/npm-registry-fetch#fetch-options) as-is,
with a couple of additional `pacote-specific` ones:
##### <a name="dirPacker"></a> `opts.dirPacker`
* Type: Function
* Default: Uses [`npm-packlist`](https://npm.im/npm-packlist) and [`tar`](https://npm.im/tar) to make a tarball.
Expects a function that takes a single argument, `dir`, and returns a
`ReadableStream` that outputs packaged tarball data. Used when creating tarballs
for package specs that are not already packaged, such as git and directory
dependencies. The default `opts.dirPacker` does not execute `prepare` scripts,
even though npm itself does.
##### <a name="opts-enjoy-by"></a> `opts.enjoy-by`
* Alias: `opts.enjoyBy`, `opts.before`
* Type: Date-able
* Default: undefined
If passed in, will be used while resolving to filter the versions for **registry
dependencies** such that versions published **after** `opts.enjoy-by` are not
considered -- as if they'd never been published.
##### <a name="opts-include-deprecated"></a> `opts.include-deprecated`
* Alias: `opts.includeDeprecated`
* Type: Boolean
* Default: false
If false, deprecated versions will be skipped when selecting from registry range
specifiers. If true, deprecations do not affect version selection.
##### <a name="opts-full-metadata"></a> `opts.full-metadata`
* Type: Boolean
* Default: false
If `true`, the full packument will be fetched when doing metadata requests. By
defaul, `pacote` only fetches the summarized packuments, also called "corgis".
##### <a name="opts-tag"></a> `opts.tag`
* Alias: `opts.defaultTag`
* Type: String
* Default: `'latest'`
Package version resolution tag. When processing registry spec ranges, this
option is used to determine what dist-tag to treat as "latest". For more details
about how `pacote` selects versions and how `tag` is involved, see [the
documentation for `npm-pick-manifest`](https://npm.im/npm-pick-manifest).
##### <a name="opts-resolved"></a> `opts.resolved`
* Type: String
* Default: null
When fetching tarballs, this option can be passed in to skip registry metadata
lookups when downloading tarballs. If the string is a `file:` URL, pacote will
try to read the referenced local file before attempting to do any further
lookups. This option does not bypass integrity checks when `opts.integrity` is
passed in.
##### <a name="opts-where"></a> `opts.where`
* Type: String
* Default: null
Passed as an argument to [`npm-package-arg`](https://npm.im/npm-package-arg)
when resolving `spec` arguments. Used to determine what path to resolve local
path specs relatively from.
