Create npm proxy repository with authentication

I’m trying to create npm proxy repository via script API including authentication.
Looking at The source code, createNpmProxy function doesn’t seem to support it:

github.com

sonatype/nexus-public/blob/820fece481e18b6c534ae57c3eecb00215d32112/plugins/nexus-script-plugin/src/main/java/org/sonatype/nexus/script/plugin/internal/provisioning/RepositoryApiImpl.groovy#L231


@Nonnull
Repository createNpmHosted(final String name,
                           final String blobStoreName = BlobStoreManager.DEFAULT_BLOBSTORE_NAME,
                           final boolean strictContentTypeValidation = true,
                           final WritePolicy writePolicy = WritePolicy.ALLOW)
{
  createRepository(createHosted(name, 'npm-hosted', blobStoreName, writePolicy, strictContentTypeValidation))
}


@Nonnull
Repository createNpmProxy(final String name,
                          final String remoteUrl,
                          final String blobStoreName = BlobStoreManager.DEFAULT_BLOBSTORE_NAME,
                          final boolean strictContentTypeValidation = true)
{
  createRepository(createProxy(name, 'npm-proxy', remoteUrl, blobStoreName, strictContentTypeValidation))
}


@Nonnull
Repository createNpmGroup(final String name,
                          final List<String> members,

Is there a way to use some low level method like createProxy or createRepository in order to create npm repository with authentication?

Here’s an example of how to add credentials to a proxy repository.

import org.sonatype.nexus.blobstore.api.BlobStoreManager
import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.storage.WritePolicy
import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.maven.VersionPolicy
import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.maven.LayoutPolicy

repository.createMavenProxy('proxy1', 'https://some.remote.com/', 'default', true, VersionPolicy.RELEASE, LayoutPolicy.PERMISSIVE)

def creds = [:].withDefault { 0 }
creds.put('type','username')
creds.put('username','test')
creds.put('password','test123')

repository.getRepositoryManager().get('proxy1').getConfiguration().getAttributes().'httpclient'.'authentication' = creds
