[`libnpmaccess`](https://github.com/npm/libnpmaccess) is a Node.js
library that provides programmatic access to the guts of the npm CLI's `npm
access` command and its various subcommands. This includes managing account 2FA,
listing packages and permissions, looking at package collaborators, and defining
package permissions for users, orgs, and teams.
## Example
```javascript
const access = require('libnpmaccess')
// List all packages @zkat has access to on the npm registry.
console.log(Object.keys(await access.lsPackages('zkat')))
```

### Install
`$ npm install libnpmaccess`
### API
#### `opts` for `libnpmaccess` commands
`libnpmaccess` uses [`npm-registry-fetch`](https://npm.im/npm-registry-fetch).
All options are passed through directly to that library, so please refer to [its
own `opts`
documentation](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-registry-fetch#fetch-options)
for options that can be passed in.
A couple of options of note for those in a hurry:
* `opts.token` - can be passed in and will be used as the authentication token for the registry. For other ways to pass in auth details, see the n-r-f docs.
* `opts.otp` - certain operations will require an OTP token to be passed in. If a `libnpmaccess` command fails with `err.code === EOTP`, please retry the request with `{otp: <2fa token>}`
#### `> access.public(spec, [opts]) -> Promise`
`spec` must be an [`npm-package-arg`](https://npm.im/npm-package-arg)-compatible
registry spec.
Makes package described by `spec` public.
##### Example
```javascript
await access.public('@foo/bar', {token: 'myregistrytoken'})
// `@foo/bar` is now public
```
#### `> access.restricted(spec, [opts]) -> Promise`
`spec` must be an [`npm-package-arg`](https://npm.im/npm-package-arg)-compatible
registry spec.
Makes package described by `spec` private/restricted.
##### Example
```javascript
await access.restricted('@foo/bar', {token: 'myregistrytoken'})
// `@foo/bar` is now private
```
#### `> access.grant(spec, team, permissions, [opts]) -> Promise`
`spec` must be an [`npm-package-arg`](https://npm.im/npm-package-arg)-compatible
registry spec. `team` must be a fully-qualified team name, in the `scope:team`
format, with or without the `@` prefix, and the team must be a valid team within
that scope. `permissions` must be one of `'read-only'` or `'read-write'`.
Grants `read-only` or `read-write` permissions for a certain package to a team.
##### Example
```javascript
await access.grant('@foo/bar', '@foo:myteam', 'read-write', {
token: 'myregistrytoken'
})
// `@foo/bar` is now read/write enabled for the @foo:myteam team.
```
#### `> access.revoke(spec, team, [opts]) -> Promise`
`spec` must be an [`npm-package-arg`](https://npm.im/npm-package-arg)-compatible
registry spec. `team` must be a fully-qualified team name, in the `scope:team`
format, with or without the `@` prefix, and the team must be a valid team within
that scope. `permissions` must be one of `'read-only'` or `'read-write'`.
Removes access to a package from a certain team.
##### Example
```javascript
await access.revoke('@foo/bar', '@foo:myteam', {
token: 'myregistrytoken'
})
// @foo:myteam can no longer access `@foo/bar`
```
#### `> access.tfaRequired(spec, [opts]) -> Promise`
`spec` must be an [`npm-package-arg`](https://npm.im/npm-package-arg)-compatible
registry spec.
Makes it so publishing or managing a package requires using 2FA tokens to
complete operations.
##### Example
```javascript
await access.tfaRequires('lodash', {token: 'myregistrytoken'})
// Publishing or changing dist-tags on `lodash` now require OTP to be enabled.
```
#### `> access.tfaNotRequired(spec, [opts]) -> Promise`
`spec` must be an [`npm-package-arg`](https://npm.im/npm-package-arg)-compatible
registry spec.
Disabled the package-level 2FA requirement for `spec`. Note that you will need
to pass in an `otp` token in `opts` in order to complete this operation.
##### Example
```javascript
await access.tfaNotRequired('lodash', {otp: '123654', token: 'myregistrytoken'})
// Publishing or editing dist-tags on `lodash` no longer requires OTP to be
// enabled.
```
#### `> access.lsPackages(entity, [opts]) -> Promise
