\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\.
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
to the manual page for npm help 5 package\-lock\.json\.
