title: npm-docs
section: 1
description: Open documentation for a package in a web browser
---
### Synopsis
```bash
npm docs [<pkgname> [<pkgname> ...]]
aliases: home
```
### Description
This command tries to guess at the likely location of a package's
documentation URL, and then tries to open it using the `--browser` config
param. You can pass multiple package names at once. If no package name is
provided, it will search for a `package.json` in the current folder and use
the `name` property.
### Configuration
<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START -->
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
#### `browser`
* Default: OS X: `"open"`, Windows: `"start"`, Others: `"xdg-open"`
* Type: null, Boolean, or String
The browser that is called by npm commands to open websites.
Set to `false` to suppress browser behavior and instead print urls to
terminal.
Set to `true` to use default system URL opener.
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
#### `registry`
* Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
* Type: URL
The base URL of the npm registry.

<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
#### `workspace`
* Default:
* Type: String (can be set multiple times)
Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
this configuration option.
Valid values for the `workspace` config are either:
* Workspace names
* Path to a workspace directory
* Path to a parent workspace directory (will result to selecting all of the
nested workspaces)
When set for the `npm init` command, this may be set to the folder of a
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
brand new workspace within the project.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.

<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
#### `workspaces`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
Enable running a command in the context of **all** the configured
workspaces.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
