shrinkwrap.json
npm-shrinkwrap.json
A publishable lockfile.
Description
npm-shrinkwrap.json
is a file created by npm-shrinkwrap. It is identical to package-lock.json
, with one major caveat: Unlike package-lock.json
, npm-shrinwkrap.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-shrinwkrap.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.
