npm路径怎么添加到vscode

1. Introduction

Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is a popular code editor among developers and it provides a lot of features out of the box. One of the features is the ability to work with npm packages directly from the editor. However, to use npm packages in VSCode, you need to add the npm path to the VSCode configuration. This article will show you how to add the npm path to VSCode so that you can use npm packages directly from the editor.

2. Finding the npm Path

Before we can add the npm path to VSCode, we need to find the location of the npm installation on our system. In order to do this, open a command prompt or terminal window and type the following command:

$ npm config get prefix

This command will output the location of the npm installation directory. In most cases, the output will be the following:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm

Note that the path may vary depending on your system configuration. Make sure to use the actual path of your npm installation in the following steps.

3. Adding the npm Path to VSCode

Now that we have the location of the npm installation directory, we can add it to the VSCode configuration. To do this, follow these steps:

3.1 Open the VSCode Settings

Open VSCode and click on the Gear icon on the bottom left corner of the window. This will open the VSCode settings panel as shown below:

3.2 Add the Path to VSCode

In the VSCode settings panel, search for the "env" setting by typing "env" in the search box. This will filter the settings to show only the environment variables as shown below:

Click on "Edit in settings.json" to open the settings.json file. This file contains the configuration settings for VSCode. Scroll down to the "terminal.integrated.env.windows" setting and add the following line to it:

"PATH": "${env:PATH};C:\\Users\\[username]\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\bin"

Make sure to replace "[username]" with your actual username and the npm path with the actual path of your npm installation directory. The resulting settings.json file should look like this:

{

  "terminal.integrated.env.windows": {
    "PATH": "${env:PATH};C:\\Users\\[username]\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\bin"
  }
}

Save the settings.json file and restart VSCode for the changes to take effect.

4. Testing the Configuration

To test the configuration, open a new terminal window in VSCode by clicking on "Terminal" -> "New Terminal". In the terminal window, type the following command:

$ npm -v

This command will output the version of npm installed on your system. If the configuration was successful, you should see the version number in the terminal as shown below:

7.21.0

Congratulations! You have successfully added the npm path to VSCode.

5. Conclusion

Adding the npm path to VSCode allows you to use npm packages directly from the editor, which can save you a lot of time and effort. This article showed you how to add the npm path to VSCode step by step. By following these steps, you should be able to add any other environment variables to VSCode as well. Happy coding!
