- npm-shrinkwrap.json(5) -- A publishable lockfile
- =====================================================
-
- ## DESCRIPTION
-
- `npm-shrinkwrap.json` is a file created by npm-shrinkwrap(1). It is identical to
- `package-lock.json`, with one major caveat: Unlike `package-lock.json`,
- `npm-shrinkwrap.json` may be included when publishing a package.
-
- The recommended use-case for `npm-shrinkwrap.json` is applications deployed
- through the publishing process on the registry: for example, daemons and
- command-line tools intended as global installs or `devDependencies`. It's
- strongly discouraged for library authors to publish this file, since that would
- prevent end users from having control over transitive dependency updates.
-
- Additionally, if both `package-lock.json` and `npm-shrinkwrap.json` are present
- in a package root, `package-lock.json` will be ignored in favor of this file.
-
- For full details and description of the `npm-shrinkwrap.json` file format, refer
- to the manual page for package-lock.json(5).
