# @npmcli/redact
Redact sensitive npm information from output.
## API
This will redact `npm_` prefixed tokens and UUIDs from values.
It will also replace passwords in stringified URLs.
### `redact(string)`
Redact values from a single value
```js
const { redact } = require('@npmcli/redact')
redact('https://user:pass@registry.npmjs.org/')
// https://user:***@registry.npmjs.org/
redact(`https://registry.npmjs.org/path/npm_${'a'.repeat('36')}`)
// https://registry.npmjs.org/path/npm_***
```
### `redactLog(string | string[])`
Redact values from a string or array of strings.
This method will also split all strings on `\s` and `=` and iterate over them.
```js
const { redactLog } = require('@npmcli/redact')
redactLog([
'Something --x=https://user:pass@registry.npmjs.org/ foo bar',
'--url=http://foo:bar@registry.npmjs.org',
])
// [
// 'Something --x=https://user:***@registry.npmjs.org/ foo bar',
// '--url=http://foo:***@registry.npmjs.org/',
// ]
```
