Using Components

Every Bit component is a package. Install it with any package manager — or the Bit CLI — directly from the Bit Cloud registry.

Any package manager

Install components with npm, pnpm, or yarn — straight from the Bit Cloud registry.

Or the Bit CLI

bit install resolves the same components, wired into your Bit workspace.

Immutable versions

Install the latest or pin any version — published releases never change.

Quick start

# 1. Log in (Bit CLI and npm share the same token)
npm login --registry=https://node-registry.bit.cloud

# 2. Install a component like any package
npm install @my-org/my-project.hello-world

Installing from a new machine or CI? See Configuring .npmrc.

Authenticate

The Bit Cloud registry uses one token for both the Bit CLI and npm — bit login and npm login produce the same token. Log in with either:

npm login --registry=https://node-registry.bit.cloud
# or
bit login

Public components install without logging in. For private scopes and CI, configure a token in your .npmrc — see Configuring .npmrc.

Install a component

Use whichever package manager you already use — the component installs like any other package:

npm install @my-org/my-project.hello-world
pnpm add     @my-org/my-project.hello-world
yarn add     @my-org/my-project.hello-world

# or with the Bit CLI, into a Bit workspace:
bit install  @my-org/my-project.hello-world
