Installation

Docker compatible

Prerequisites

npm package manager installed
TuxCare registry token — contact [email protected]

Create or update the .npmrc file
Navigate to the root directory of your jQuery UI project and create a .npmrc file or update it if it already exists.
Example:
```
my-jquery-ui-project/
├── node_modules/
├── package.json
├── .npmrc         ⚠️ ← Create it here
└── package-lock.json
```
Configure the npm registry
Use an editor of your choice (e.g., VS Code) to add the following registry address lines to the .npmrc file:
```
registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/
@els-js:registry=https://nexus.repo.tuxcare.com/repository/els_js/
//nexus.repo.tuxcare.com/repository/els_js/:_auth=${TOKEN}
```
Replace ${TOKEN} with the token you received from [email protected].
Update dependencies
Update your package.json file to replace jQuery UI dependencies with TuxCare-maintained packages. You can do this in two ways:
- Option 1: Manual update
  Manually update your package.json file by replacing your jQuery UI dependencies with the TuxCare packages. This method gives you full control over which packages to update.
```
"dependencies": {
  "jquery-ui": "npm:@els-js/jquery-ui@>=1.10.4-tuxcare.1"
},
"overrides": {
  "[email protected]": "npm:@els-js/jquery-ui@>=1.10.4-tuxcare.1"
}
```
- Option 2: TuxCare Patcher (Automated)
  Install the Patcher globally and run it. The TuxCare Patcher automatically detects the jQuery UI version in your package.json and updates your dependencies and overrides to use the corresponding TuxCare @els-js/* packages.
```
npm install -g @els-js/tuxcare-patcher --userconfig ./.npmrc
tuxcare-patch-js
```
  The patcher will update your package.json, for example, from:
```
"dependencies": {
  "jquery-ui": "^1.10.4"
}
```
  to:
```
"dependencies": {
  "jquery-ui": "npm:@els-js/jquery-ui@>=1.10.4-tuxcare.1"
},
"overrides": {
  "[email protected]": "npm:@els-js/jquery-ui@>=1.10.4-tuxcare.1"
}
```
Refresh the project dependencies
Remove node_modules, package-lock.json, and clear the npm cache:
```
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json && npm cache clean --force
```
Install dependencies:
```
npm install
```
The token for the TuxCare repository is automatically picked up from your .npmrc file.
Verify the setup
Use npm to list the project's dependencies and confirm that npm resolves TuxCare packages correctly:
```
npm list
```
After reviewing the dependencies, run your application to ensure everything works correctly. The npm tool identifies and resolves dependencies from the TuxCare ELS for jQuery UI repository.
