How to configure npm per project for my teammates to have the same config?

Question

Recently, I ran accross a npm install issue, where I had to do either: npm install --legacy-peer-deps either npm config set legacy-peer-deps true .

I'm not really sure why, but anyway, since it's a team project, that we have some devops scripts, I would like to know if there is a way to basically have a file with information on how npm should be configured for the team.

Something in the package.json or an.something to make sure everybody using this repository have a the npm config set legacy-peer-deps true ?

Thank you

Try adding a per-project configuration file , aka a .npmrc file that sits alongside package.json and is committed into source control.

# .npmrc
legacy-peer-deps=true
