The Fleetbase Verdaccio Extensions Middleware Plugin enhances the Fleetbase Registry by providing middleware functionality. This allows the Fleetbase API to connect directly to the Verdaccio package registry to retrieve detailed information and metrics about packages, enhancing the overall efficiency and capabilities of the registry.

This plugin is an essential component of the official Fleetbase registry (https://registry.fleetbase.io), a specialized Verdaccio instance tailored to support both npm and composer protocols. It includes bespoke modifications to cater to the specific needs of the Fleetbase ecosystem, particularly for Fleetbase extensions.

• Direct API Connectivity: Enables the Fleetbase API to interact directly with the Verdaccio registry, fetching details and metrics about stored packages.
• Enhanced Data Retrieval: Facilitates comprehensive data access capabilities for registry-stored packages, supporting advanced management and operational tasks.

To install the plugin, run the following command in your terminal:

npm install @fleetbase/verdaccio-fleetbase-extensions-middleware

Once installed, configure the plugin in your Verdaccio server's config.yaml file. Add the plugin to the middleware section as follows:

middlewares:
  fleetbase-extensions-middleware:
    enabled: true

Ensure that the plugin is properly enabled and configured to meet your specific operational requirements.

After configuration, the Fleetbase API will automatically utilize the middleware to query and retrieve information from the Verdaccio registry. No additional steps are required for basic operation.
