title: npm-completion
section: 1
description: Tab Completion for npm
---
### Synopsis
```bash
source <(npm completion)
```
### Description
Enables tab-completion in all npm commands.
The synopsis above
loads the completions into your current shell. Adding it to
your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc will make the completions available
everywhere:
```bash
npm completion >> ~/.bashrc
npm completion >> ~/.zshrc
```
You may of course also pipe the output of `npm completion` to a file
such as `/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/npm` or
`/etc/bash_completion.d/npm` if you have a system that will read
that file for you.
When `COMP_CWORD`, `COMP_LINE`, and `COMP_POINT` are defined in the
environment, `npm completion` acts in "plumbing mode", and outputs
completions based on the arguments.
