# Import NPM packages from private registries in Edge Functions

Edge Functions now support importing NPM packages from private registries. You will need to deploy your functions using Supabase CLI version v1.207.9 or above to make use of this feature.

### How to use packages from private registries

Create a `.npmrc` file within `supabase/functions`. This will allow you to import the private packages into multiple functions. Alternatively, you can place the `.npmrc` file directly inside `supabase/functions/function-name` directory. 

Add your registry details in the `.npmrc` file. Follow [this guide](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/configuring-npm/npmrc) to learn more about the syntax of npmrc files.
```
@myorg:registry=https://npm.registryhost.com
//npm.registryhost.com/:_authToken=VALID_AUTH_TOKEN
```

After that, you can import the package directly in your function code or add it to the `import_map.json` (https://supabase.com/docs/guides/functions/import-maps#using-import-maps).

```typescript
import MyPackage from "npm:@myorg/private-package@v1.0.1"

// use MyPackage
```

To test your function locally, run `supabase functions serve`. When you're ready, you can deploy it to hosted platform by running `supabase functions deploy function-name`
