<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm.commands.config(args, callback)
var val = npm.config.get(key)
npm.config.set(key, val)
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>This function acts much the same way as the command-line version.  The first
element in the array tells config what to do. Possible values are:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>set</code></p>
<p>  Sets a config parameter.  The second element in <code>args</code> is interpreted as the
  key, and the third element is interpreted as the value.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>get</code></p>
<p>  Gets the value of a config parameter. The second element in <code>args</code> is the
  key to get the value of.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>delete</code> (<code>rm</code> or <code>del</code>)</p>
<p>  Deletes a parameter from the config. The second element in <code>args</code> is the
  key to delete.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>list</code> (<code>ls</code>)</p>
<p>  Show all configs that aren&#39;t secret. No parameters necessary.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>edit</code>:</p>
<p>  Opens the config file in the default editor. This command isn&#39;t very useful
  programmatically, but it is made available.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>To programmatically access npm configuration settings, or set them for
the duration of a program, use the <code>npm.config.set</code> and <code>npm.config.get</code>
functions instead.</p>
