- .TH "NPM\-SHRINKWRAP\.JSON" "5" "August 2018" "" ""
- .SH "NAME"
- \fBnpm-shrinkwrap.json\fR \- A publishable lockfile
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .P
- \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP is a file created by npm help shrinkwrap\. It is identical to
- \fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP, with one major caveat: Unlike \fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP,
- \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP may be included when publishing a package\.
- .P
- The recommended use\-case for \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP is applications deployed
- through the publishing process on the registry: for example, daemons and
- command\-line tools intended as global installs or \fBdevDependencies\fP\|\. It's
- strongly discouraged for library authors to publish this file, since that would
- prevent end users from having control over transitive dependency updates\.
- .P
- Additionally, if both \fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP and \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP are present
- in a package root, \fBpackage\-lock\.json\fP will be ignored in favor of this file\.
- .P
- For full details and description of the \fBnpm\-shrinkwrap\.json\fP file format, refer
- to the manual page for npm help 5 package\-lock\.json\.
