# npm-load(3)

Load config settings

## NAME

**npm-load** - Load config settings

## SYNOPSIS

```
npm.load(conf, cb)
```

## DESCRIPTION

npm.load() must be called before any other function call. Both parameters are optional, but the second is recommended.

The first parameter is an object hash of command-line config params, and the second parameter is a callback that will be called when npm is loaded and ready to serve.

The first parameter should follow a similar structure as the package.json config object.

For example, to emulate the --dev flag, pass an object that looks like this:

-

  ```
  {
    "dev": true
  }
  ```

-

  For a list of all the available command-line configs, see **npm help config**
