What is a .npmrc file?

A .npmrc file is the configuration file for an NPM (node package manager) package, which allows you to define the settings on how the NPM package should function in response to the commands that you run. A .npmrc file in the root of a project (as a sibling to the files node_modules and package.json) sets the configuration values that are specific to that project.

Here, the .npmrc file allows you to access Quark artifacts – QWC and PWC in your application.
