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
#### browser
* Default: OS X: `"open"`, Windows: `"start"`, Others: `"xdg-open"`
* Type: String or Boolean
The browser that is called by the `npm docs` command 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.
#### registry
* Default: https://registry.npmjs.org/
* Type: url
The base URL of the npm package registry.
