Turn Off npm Funding Message

When you run npm install, you'll see a few different details output to your terminal. One you are probably used to seeing is the one about packages looking for funding.

❯ npm install

up to date, audited 253 packages in 2s

88 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

6 vulnerabilities (1 low, 4 moderate, 1 high)

If for whatever reason you need to turn off this (e.g. for scripting and CI purposes), you can globally configure it with the npm config command.

❯ npm config set fund false --location=global

Run an npm install again and the funding message will no longer show.

This edits the npmrc located in the /etc directory of wherever your current version of Node is installed. Running npm config edit --global will open you up to this file as well.
